Development-induced forced displacement remains another confirmation of the faulty notion of ‘human security’ around gender issues. This paper is a theoretical and empirical exegesis of the continuous feminisation of human insecurity in forced displacement in Zimbabwe. We allude to the prevalence of widespread intricacies characterising gender binaries of victimhood among displaced men and women, yet again framing human security on masculine-feminine asymmetries. Women continue to wallow in poverty, disenfranchisement, ill-health, and vulnerability before, during and after forced displacement because of normative systems and structures of society that continue to dictate power relations between men and women in African societies.
