Recently the UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency)has again underlined that the most vulnerable groups requiring a prompt, coordinated, and effective protection response (UNHCR, UNFPA and WRC, 2016) are constituted by: all women (including single women travelling alone or with children, pregnant and lactating women, adolescent girls, unaccompanied children, early-married girl children – sometimes themselves with new-born babies), persons with disabilities, and elderly men. Single adult refugee women constitute one of the most vulnerable groups of the whole refugee population because of the common lack of financial means, professional qualification, and family support.
