Record numbers of people, across the world, are forced to be displaced because of conflict or other violations of their human rights, thus becoming refugees. Often, refugees not only have a higher burden of disease but also compromised access to healthcare, as they face many barriers, such as limited knowledge of the local language. However, there is very limited knowledge on the lived experiences of this population. Moreover, the strategies people might develop in their efforts to access healthcare have not been explored in depth, despite their value in establishing peer-support, community based programs. This paper is an attempt to discuss the issues concerning the refugee women and children and the steps taken by the Government of India and other organizations in addressing such issues in order to stabilize the socioeconomic status and attainment of basic human rights for such women and children.
