Purpose: For more than 100 years, participation in interscholastic athletics has been a major part of American high schools’ extracurricular offerings.

To address protection issues, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) released the Policy on Refugee Women in 1990. The authors provide a comprehensive policy analysis, building on an exploration of the historical background and a …
