The environment that surrounds refugee or internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, particularly in situations of ongoing conflict, is notoriously dangerous. Yet everyday, in hundreds of camps around the world, millions of women and girls venture out into this danger in order to collect enough firewood to cook for their families. The Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children have initiated a project to investigate methods for reducing the vulnerability of displaced women and girls to gender-based violence during firewood collection.
