The agency published a report based on consultations carried out by the Gender Equality Working Group of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, in collaboration with 45 local women’s organizations and emergency rooms in Khartoum, South Kordofan, and Al-Jazira.
According to the report, “three out of four returnee women are unable to access healthcare, education, water, and sanitation services.”
It explained that the main barriers to accessing these services include insecurity, weak infrastructure, high costs, long distances, and discrimination.
The report further noted that only one in ten women has been able to reclaim housing or land upon return. About 85% of women said local authorities and land committees rejected their claims, while a similar proportion cited the lack of legal documentation.
