Women’s Learning Partnership is conducting capacity building workshops in Lebanon with refugee women of diverse ages and educational levels as part of the Empowering Syrian Refugee Women for a Better Future project. The project addresses the staggering humanitarian crisis that has forced 4.5 million registered Syrian refugees to flee in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, among other countries.
Women’s Learning Partnership (WLP) will increase Syrian refugee women’s ability to create positive change for their communities through the Participation and Empowerment of Syrian Refugee Women in Jordan and Lebanon project, funded by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). The initiative will work with individual Syrian women and with local organizations providing services to them.
