WHERE<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/span>LEBANON, Beirut – Burj El Barajneh refugee camp<\/span><\/p>\n

PARTNER
\n<\/span><\/strong>Women\u2019s Humanitarian Organization (PWHO), Beirut (Lebanon)<\/span><\/p>\n

BACKGROUND
\n<\/strong><\/span>Bourj El Barajneh camp welcomes Palestinian and Syrian refugees. According to some sources the number of people in the camp rose to 40.000 following the Syrian conflict.
\n<\/span>Women refugees suffer from a double-discrimination: they are discriminated because they are women and because they are refugees. They often lack of fundamental rights.
\n<\/span>The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) offers free medical care, but the services are insufficient.
\n<\/span>In the camp there is only one hospital which is managed by Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS), but in order to have access to the services you have to pay a ticket, and outside the camp medical services are very expensive. Most of refugee women <\/span>have suffered traumatic events, such as sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and child marriage. Taboos, stigma and lack of specialized services make it very hard for women to speak up about their traumas, so it\u2019s difficult to detect SGBV cases.
\n<\/span>Since 2008, PWHO has created a Center for women where different activities are organized like awareness-raising and discussion groups on reproductive health issues. The Center offers free counseling and external referral services to gynecologists, social workers, psychologists and health workers. However, the current loans don’t allow to operate on a daily basis and only basic services are provided.<\/span><\/p>\n

GOALS
\n<\/strong><\/span>Facilitate the access and the availability of integrated high-quality services for reproductive health and gender-based violence <\/strong>for women refugees in the Bourj El Barajneh camp; develop the ability of PWHO staff to provide community integrated social services <\/strong>and psychosocial support to women.<\/span><\/p>\n

  2. Renovation of the Center and supply of new medical equipment: <\/strong>thanks to the renovations the services will be offered in a safer and more welcoming place while the purchase of new equipment will allow the monitoring of the health status of women, in particular those who are pregnant, without sending them to private clinics.<\/span><\/li>\n
