This article discusses the benefits of a gendered human security perspective on the issue of humanitarian action in internally displaced person (IDP) and refugee protection. It argues that a thorough analysis along the human security dimensions (economic, food, health, environment, personal, community, and political) strengthens our understanding of the gender dimension in the context of forced displacement. Based on an analysis of guidelines and humanitarian policy documents in the area of IDP and refugee protection, it shows that understanding not only gender specific needs but also the underlying gender relations is of importance, as these relations can be altered during displacement or as a consequence of humanitarian interventions. Moreover, the intersection of gender with other indicators creating vulnerability and insecurity (such as age, sexuality, race, religion, class and ethnicity) need to be addressed. This requires the collection of disaggregated data and a structural gender-sensitive analysis of the multilayered human security situation on the ground
