This volume takes up the crucial issue of the gendered character of conflict-driven migration. The contributors highlight the importance of 'taking gender seriously' in migration research to improve both migration theory and conflict research. The volume provides critical insights into how to shore up women's rights in conflict and post-conflict situations by focusing on the way the experience of dislocation 'infantalises' and disempowers women in particular.
