Conclusively; decision making in relocation,consultation, mobilization of the women and women involvement in development projects provide mechanisms for improving the state of women, policies on law, health, and policy on domestic violence and different policy framework on the management of affairs women. The researcher conclude that implementing the policy agenda is not well though the framework of policy exist, challenges encountered by women in attaining women rights reveal a challenge of monitoring the management of women issues, capacity management issues in the IDPs and the need to have a focus mind by the international, national and local community in the management and implementation of women rights.
