“…Efforts of humanitarian agencies to facilitate the return of displaced communities to their hometown or assist their resettlement in a safe community is another key intervention to promote their health and restore their normal life functions. Considering the vulnerability of women and children during the period of return and resettlement, it is imperative that the humanitarian programs consider their safety, support their reintegration and rehabilitation, empower women to establish their livelihood, assist them to restore or claim their property rights, provide them assistance on legal matters, facilitate children's return to school, and connect them with the protective services or community‐based support services that can maintain regular follow‐up with them (Fazel et al., ; Sert, ).…”

Purpose To discuss the effects of forced displacement on maternal and child health, highlight the major pitfalls in delivering humanitarian services to this vulnerable group, and underscore the need for multilayered interventions to improve health, protect rights, and reduce vulnerabilities during forced displacements. Methods A comprehensive literature search was undertaken from databases including Medline, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, Scopus, and ProQuest. No restrictions were placed on geographical region, type, and year of publication. The key words used were displacement, children, women, health, challenges, disaster response, emergency medicine, terrorism, maladjustment, morbidity, disaster response, cultural sensitivity, and interventions. Conclusions Forced displacement negatively affects maternal and child health. The key challenges during forced displacement include food insecurity, lack of shelter, unavailability of clean water and sanitation, poor infrastructure of healthcare services, unavailability of birth attendants and healthcare professionals to manage medical emergencies, inaccessibility to educational and training facilities, and lack of cultural sensitivity of humanitarian workers. The ultimate outcome of forced displacement is a sudden rise in maternal and child mortality and morbidity, maladjustment, psychological issues, altered familial roles, displaced parenting, and vulnerability to exploitation. In view of Bronfenbrenner's socio‐ecological framework, multilayered interventions are proposed to improve maternal and child health during forced displacements. Clinical Relevance In view of the effects of forced displacement on maternal and child health and considering the major pitfalls in the delivery of humanitarian services to this vulnerable group, the proposed multilayered interventions can improve health, protect rights, and reduce vulnerabilities surrounding maternal and child health during forced displacements.

“…Similarly, Sert (2014) argued that when the IDPs return to their lands after conflicts or disastrous situations, they often find their land barren, eroded, and usurped by others. The land loss creates a significant economic challenge for the returnees in rural areas because the land is the primary source of living.…”

This article examines the perception of returnees about their reinstatement and rehabilitation in the Swat District of Pakistan. A satisfaction tool, consisting of various domains and indicators, was used for measuring the returnee’s perceptions at two periods, i.e., before rehabilitation (BR) and after rehabilitation (AR). Data were elicited through a self-administered structured questionnaire from 382 samples drawn from the 47,943 Kabal Tehsil, Swat population. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings depict that the value of all the domains increased by 25.7%. The paired sample t-test results show a rejection of all the null hypotheses, indicating a significant increase in the overall satisfaction of returnees in the AR period. The findings indicate that in the AR period, the highest increase occurred in SWL (Satisfaction with Life) domain and the lowest in GOV (Government). This study concludes that the satisfaction of returnees can be further improved by focusing on the domains with a lower level of satisfaction, such as the Government and Social Support domains. Additionally, the tool adopted in this study is significant for measuring the satisfaction level of the distressed population in Pakistan and beyond.

“…‘Return as a political will’ in this context is also related to the recent developments in Rojava – Syrian Kurdistan, to which many women felt an emotional connection. As forced displacement, by its nature, is entirely politically manipulated (Stedman and Tanner, ; Sert, ), return as a political will is a reaction to this political manipulation. However, in the Kurdish case, such a strong wish is also shaped by the regional developments in the Middle East.…”

“…Although gender has become an important research area within migration, and recently, peace and reconciliation studies, there are still few studies analysing how displaced women remember the gendered aspects of displacement and perceive reconciliation and peace. Similarly, while there is discussion on the necessity of “return” to be included in the peace processes (Sert, ), there is not much on what the displaced people want from peace processes without necessarily wanting to return, but coexisting with other groups in the places where they have migrated and within the context of transition to peace. Lastly, even though women's roles in peace processes have been acknowledged through various international documents and research, it is rarely the case that the voices of displaced women are brought to peace processes.…”

Gendered Aspects of Conflict, Displacement and Peace Process in Turkey

The peace process in Turkey, since its inception, has not paid any attention to internal displacement or its gendered aspects. This study analyses how displaced women remember the gendered aspects of displacement and perceive reconciliation and peace. The analysis, based on interviews with 42 internally displaced women, shows that changing domestic and international contexts have substantive impact on how displaced women remember their stories and the meaning they attach to their ethnic identities. Consequently, it suggests that if the peace process is re-initiated, leaders need to take into consideration that each component of reconciliation (justice, peace, trust towards the state, intergroup relations and truth-telling) has different difficulties to be overcome when the gendered aspect of displacement is taken into account and consider return not only as a realistic demand but also as a political wish.
