Hintergrundinformation

In general, the refugee population in Jordan is young, with 48.6% of Syrian refugees under the age of 18, and 29.1% ages 18-35, according to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Informed by past public health emergencies, CARE’s analysis shows that COVID-19 outbreaks in humanitarian contexts could disproportionately affect women and girls, with adverse effects on their education, food security and nutrition, health, livelihoods, and protection—even with long-lasting effects. Child labour and early marriage were cited in CARE’s Annual Needs Assessment 2020 as activated coping mechanisms due to the high stress and needs brought upon by COVID-19 due to difficult conditions in Jordan and economic poverty. However, early marriage is also deeply rooted in the beliefs and social norms of the Syrian and Jordanian society.
