Lack of firewood/fodder/shelter materials near areas of displacement means that women/children must travel great distances to find firewood, increasing risk of physical/sexual attack. Women/girls who cannot collect firewood (due to disability; urban location, etc.) may have to buy fuel and therefore may be forced to sell food rations and/or are at increased risk of sexual exploitation. Children who have to collect wood may be forced to leave school. Women often work long hours because of the distances they are forced to travel to collect wood, threatening overall welfare and depriving them of time for productive activities, including livelihoods activities and education.
