Shima Azizi
In this research work, the researcher will consider the various development programs regarding women refugee which are organized through UNHCR, NGOs and other related agencies in the international context and within India. It is noteworthy to say that, between 75 to 80 percent of the world's refugees are women and children and many of them have been living in camps and emergency situations for generations, in between India also is not the exception. Most of the time the inability, disability, and loss of a male head person in the family lead economically self- sufficient poses and threat to men themselves and to their families too. Hence, refugee women need to be prepared for productive activities through education and training, income generation activities and other types of empowerment. But unfortunately, the policies and strategies to incorporate women have not yet been implemented sufficiently in India to bring about the real improvement in the lives of refugee women. The present research work will prove that accessing women refugee to skill development training programs help them to increase their positions in accessing to knowledge, resources and gaining decision- making power and to find safer job, and in fact, self-sustaining plays a key role in protecting them from dependence on unsafe and unsustainable income generations option and lead to protect them from gender-based violence within the family as well as in workplace. In fact, more state and international development level programs through international non-governmental and governmental agencies and reviewing UNHCR's livelihoods programs in India for the empowerment of all types of refugee women can make them more independent and protected to be needed.
