Thank you all for being here for today’s important discussion, for continuing to demonstrate your commitment to this issue. We have discussed at length the importance of responding to the specific needs of women and girls in humanitarian crisis and the dire circumstances many women and girls find themselves in within Syria and across the region.
We have stressed the importance of not only meeting these needs, but of also ensuring that we’re grounding our support and interventions in strategies that build their resilience and empower them – with the objective of creating just and equal societies and intuitions. And yet how to do this effectively continues to be our common challenge.
We have spent decades talking about the importance of gender equality. And while we talk, the situation of women and girls inside Syria, and in the countries neighbouring it is at risk of further deterioration.
We know that refugee female headed households not sharing resources with other households are those most vulnerable to food insecurity. We know that gender based violence and violence against women continues to destroy the lives of women and girls across the region, and prolonged displacement will deepen and exacerbate this. We know that women’s rates of empowerment amongst the refugee community remains woefully low—under 10 per cent; lower then it was in Syria pre-crisis—demonstrating the roll back effect displacement has on women’s access to opportunities and public space; deepening their sense of isolation.
And as our interventions shift—rightly so—to those that build resilience through the provision of assets, skills, jobs, dignity and protection, if we do not take special measures to target and include women in resilience and stabilization efforts women are at risk of being further left behind.
While women are central to community resilience and spend 90 per cent of their income on the family, data demonstrates that women are more reliant on humanitarian assistance then men due to barriers they face in accessing income generating opportunities.
If we are investing in community resilience we must invest in women, this is the smart strategy and it does not happen without vigilance and targeted strategies to ensure women are direct beneficiaries of this approach.
This said, we worked hard together, we have seen progress and for this we must be proud.
