Refugee Women

In this second edition of her groundbreaking volume, Martin provides crucial background for analysis of the legal issues that have directed international response to recent conflicts. She also describes the recent genesis of the category of internally displaced persons, and she demonstrates ways women can advance toward greater participation in legal and economic decision making.

Susan Forbes Martin has been involved in the research on and development of immigration and refugee policy for more than twenty years. She was the Executive Director of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform from 1992 to 1997 and is currently the Director of the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University.
