Out of the millions that have faced the wrath of international conflicts and had to flee their states of origin, women and children remain the most vulnerable of all. This book was published at a time when not much empirical data was available on the condition of refugees in particular women and has successfully assist ed humanitarian assistance practitioners respond to the complex challenges faced in delivering programmes effectively to refugees. It has also been recommended as a required reading for all those who work with or for refugees by various refugee study researchers worldwide.
