From where we stand: Our journey of resilience and empowerment between two crises.
Date:
Ten years since the start of the conflict, with more than 5.6 million people fled Syria to neighboring countries and Jordan is currently hosting more than 747,031 Syrian refugees. Women and girls have been disproportionately affected by the conflict and displacement, and they are now facing additional challenges due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Since 2012, UN Women has been standing with refugees and their host communities, supporting more than 24,000 refugees per year to overcome hardship and strengthen their resilience through the Oasis centers in the Za’atari and Azraq refugee camps as well as in host communities managed in partnership with the Minister of Social Development. Each center offers access to multi-sectoral services including secure livelihoods opportunities, prevention and gender-based violence awareness services, education and civic engagement training; and key enabling services such as childcare and transportation.
On this World Refugee Day, join us as we bring you the voices of refugees and women in Jordan on their journeys towards empowerment.
