“Towards a Safe Life” Summer Camp for Young Women in Iraq Burin Ends<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

13 July 2011, West Bank — The protection and mental health programme at UNRWA, in cooperation with the local community, concluded a first-of-its-kind 'Safe life for young women’ summer camp. One hundred young girls from various age groups took part.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The camp was organised in Iraq Burin, where UNRWA provides services and humanitarian assistance to more than 500 registered refugees. The camp was organised in an effort to assist vulnerable groups, living in areas that witness settler violence, land confiscation, demolitions and arrests.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“I am extremely happy to participate in this camp since it provides me with a place to meet my friends during the summer vacation,” says Iman, 16.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Baher Faqeeh, a volunteer in the camp, adds: “Working in the camp has enabled me to enhance the skills of these young girls, and try to find a way to release the pressure of everyday life in this village.”<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Iraq Burin is located in the south of Nablus, and lacks many psycho-social services. The camp provided entertainment activities, sports, skills to better cope with conflict, self confidence, and an overview on the local organisations that deal with legal and women’s issues, along with raising their awareness about violence, sexual abuse and family disputes. The camp provided them with a chance to produce a theatrical play on the current situation of the village.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The camp included many other topics shared by professionals in the field. The Norwegian Refugee Council presented the rights and laws applied to residents of Area C, and WCLAC (women’s center for legal aid) explained <\/span>UN resolution 1325<\/a> on the protection of women’s rights in zones of conflict, and Ansar NGO talked about children’s rights.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
