The consultation findings helped UN Women to advocate for women and girls in Cox’s Bazar. Specifically,
UN Women provided inputs to the Relief and Refugee Repatriation Commissioner, to ensure that
the roll-out of the Guidelines on camp elections and Risk Mitigation Strategy were responsive to the
challenges of women’s participation and leadership in community management and decision-making.
Once camp elections are approved, the Guidelines will facilitate women’s participation in elections as
candidates and voters across the remaining camps.
