Make room for her

Displaced girls and women face unique risks. When forced to leave their homes, they are vulnerable to trafficking and gender-based violence. In their hosting communities, they have limited opportunities to prosper. Child marriage and early pregnancy often interrupt girls’ education. Socio-cultural traditions and reinforced gender roles prevent women from improving their livelihoods.

When women and girls have room to heal, learn, and improve their livelihoods, their families and communities will prosper.

JRS works with displaced women and girls so that they can:

• Attend and complete secondary education.
• Access livelihoods opportunities.
• Feel safe from any form of violence.
• Heal from their traumas.
• Contribute to the creation of equal and peaceful communities.
