Hintergrundinformation

The Syria crisis remains one of the largest and most complex crises globally. Humanitarian needs are increasingly being exacerbated by the economic, security and health crises. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges, directly and disproportionately jeopardizing women's social and economic prospects, as in other parts around the globe. The rapidly worsening economic crisis - now even worse after the pandemic - has exacerbated many of the risks faced by individuals, families, and communities. Worsening gasoline shortages are further impacting the populations’ access to basic services such as health and protection. The crisis continues to have a gendered impact, with women and adolescent girls paying a high price due to harmful and discriminatory gender norms, including GBV.
