Aftermath: effects of conflict on internally displaced women in Georgia

The paper is divided into three sections. The first gives a brief background of Georgia and describes the civil wars resulting in massive displacement of the population.

Section two examines the social, economic, and political effects of conflicts on internally displaced women and their families. The last section identifies a few lessons drawn from the Georgian experience that might be considered by the international community in developing programs for internally displaced women and their families in similar situations.
