Gaziantep Women Only Center Providing Livelihood Support

This project aims to support the social and economic stabilization of refugee women, and to contribute to their self-reliance and ability to co-exist with women from the host community by creating a women-only centre/oasis that provides Syrian and host community women with: (i) a protected social space with childcare, referral services and language/vocational/empowerment skills development; (ii) a platform for dialogue, co-existence and the development of joint empowerment activities. This project forms an integral part of the UN Women’s Country Programme Document entitled «Increasing the Resilience of Women Refugees in Turkey», and will provide an opportunity to kick-start the implantation of the programme in Gaziantep, and to test the implementation modality and the partnership framework before scaling up the contextual and geographical coverage.
