From the supplier: The experience of dealing with Afghan refugee women in Pakistan suggests the need for refugee programs to promote women's economic self-reliance. Women make up 75-80% of the world population of refugees, but programs have only recently begun to focus on women's needs. Programs should focus on income generation, incorporate research on refugee women, develop policy statements and include refugee women in the planning and implementation of projects. Projects for Afghan refugees in Pakistan by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees, the International Rescue Committee and Pakistan's Commissioner for Afghan Refugees are discussed.
