This report summarizes the views on assisting displaced women in conflict and post-conflict situations presented at the UNFPA Expert Meeting and Workshop on Displaced Women, held in Hammamet, Tunisia, 21-24 June 2007. The recommendations in the report of both field staff and academics focused on improving data collection and evaluation; disseminating and implementing United Nations Security Council resolution 1325; improving collaboration and coordination both within UNFPA and among UNFPA and its partners, including governments; improving training, education and knowledge-sharing; involving men in programmes to empower women and prevent sexual and gender-based violence; and ensuring that programmes for displaced persons also benefit local communities.
