The inequalities have increased as a result; reports show that female-headed households are more likely to be food-insecure than male-headed ones. Following the growing conflict, internal displacements have increased, leaving the IDPs without access to their farmland and income generating activities. Landless and stateless women and men rely heavily on casual labour and is more prone to economic shocks. The conflict has also exacerbated situation of persons with disabilities, worsening their living conditions due to displacements and lack of institutional and financial support."}, {"bbox": [1037, 1681, 1142, 1705], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 3 of 27"}]
