Syrian Refugee Women in Lebanon Fight Child Marriage
Published on: Thursday 04 July 2019
Fifteen Syrian women who fled to neighboring Lebanon because of the Syrian conflict are taking up the fight against an increasing issue among young Syrian female refugees: dropping out of school and getting married.
The women, who live in the Arsal refugee camp in northern Lebanon, have established Women's Social Rally to empower women and girls in such camps by helping them handle the burden of war and displacement.
Supported by Lebanese aid workers and specialists, the team seeks to raise awareness among the refugees to avoid child marriage and keep girls in school.
