The document discusses the plight of Syrian refugee children in Jordan and Lebanon due to the ongoing conflict in Syria. It provides background on UNHCR and defines refugees. Over 2.2 million Syrians have fled the country since 2011, including over 1.1 million children, many of whom live in refugee camps in neighboring countries with poor conditions. These children face challenges obtaining education, supporting their families financially, and coping with trauma and loss. The document shares stories of individual refugee children and calls for support to address their needs.
Under Siege: The devastating impact on children of three years of conflict in...UNICEF Publications
Syria’s children are living today through the most damaging conflict for children in the region’s recent history. More than 5.5 million Syrian children now see their future besieged by war. It is estimated there are up to one million children who live under siege and in hard-to-reach areas that UNICEF and other humanitarian partners cannot access on a regular basis. This report takes stock of the impact that three years of violence and rights violations have had on children, and it assesses the longer-term crisis facing the region.
Adolescent Boys and Gendered Social transitions in Ethiopia (7 September, 2015)Young Lives Oxford
"Adolescent boys and gendered social transitions: Findings From the Young Lives Study in Ethiopia" by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag.
Presented at the Annual Development Studies Association Conference, Bath, UK
7-8 September 2015
What affects boys’ trajectories through school and work, including their aspirations, agency, place, and changing roles and responsibilities within family and community contexts? What obstacles do adolescent boys face as they seek to transition into young adults?
These questions were addressed in a presentation by Gina Crivello and Nikki van der Gaag at the UK Development Studies Association conference on 7 Sept 2015.
In recent years, adolescence has risen high on the global agenda, but boys are marginalised by an overwhelming focus on female adolescence. While there has been much focus on the harms that social norms and expectations can cause for girls’ well-being, what it means to be a boy in any given time and place is also socially constructed and dynamic. This paper shows how boys too can be disadvantaged by sexual stereotypes, social norms and economic adversity, and how gender norms become more entrenched as adolescents develop into young adults. In particular, we see how boys’ aspirations decrease over time while girls’ aspirations increase, particularly after age 15.
Securing paid work is key to boys’ transitions to adulthood, and at age 19, they strive for financial independence. They consider paid work to be a ‘protective factor’ in the sense that working prevents idleness and stagnation which they fear and resist. They also see themselves as ‘in-between’ childhood and adulthood – with a growing sense of responsibility and maturity, yet lacking adult authority and access to adult networks. Focusing much less on the promises of education for boys becoming men, work promises ‘change’ and represents persistence, hope and moral fortitude. But the reality of work is usually very different; a continual struggle to provide enough for themselves, their families, and their futures.
Married Syrian refugee girls in Lebanon and Jordan face overlapping crises of poverty, limited access to education and livelihood opportunities, gender inequality, and family violence. Research from the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) program finds that early and arranged marriage is common as a coping strategy, but takes a toll on girls' well-being. Married life brings responsibilities that girls are unprepared for, leaving them exhausted and isolated with little support. The economic crisis in Lebanon has exacerbated girls' hardships. Violence from husbands and in-laws is prevalent, while girls have little agency or ability to access support networks. Programming recommendations include preventing early marriage, improving relationships within marriages, expanding support for survivors,
The document discusses a study on the social cohesion between adolescent refugees and their host communities in Lebanon. The study found that adolescent refugees experience spatial isolation, gendered cultural differences, economic competition, and security issues that hinder their social connectedness. However, some reported positive interactions through mixed-nationality schools, friendships, and community programs. The study recommends improving gender norms, mixed education, community programs, economic stability, and security to enhance social cohesion.

Bangladesh Authorities Destroyed Unregistered Refugee Camp at Kutupalong 18 J...Jeg
“On June 16, we were not able to sleep at night as some local goons entered the camp where we had built new huts near the forest after demolition of our huts near the UNHCR official camp by the authorities. The goons tried to rob and attempted to rape the refugee women,”
The document summarizes the design of a refugee camp in Nariño, Colombia for 12,000 refugees fleeing violence. It describes the camp's location near Barbacoas, access routes, climate conditions, and infrastructure layout. Facilities included 150 water taps connected to two large tanks, over 1,300 latrines separated by gender, schools, a health center, and tents for housing. The camp aims to provide sustainable access to water, sanitation, education, and healthcare for the refugees.
A talk given by Thoughtworks at UKPA UK's 'World Usability Day' event - 10 November 2016.
The challenge of reconnecting unaccompanied child refugees with their loved ones is a growing problem with the global refugee crisis. In Kakuma refugee camp filmmaker Lieven Corthouts sought out a solution after living there for 5 years and talking with refugees struggling to find their families. ThoughtWorks collaborated with Lieven to design and user test a ‘Find Me’ web application with refugees, which exposed the challenges of cultural barriers, limited technical literacy and the western bias applied within the design process.
Mike Gatman is a project manager and coach from ThoughtWorks who looked after the Find Me initiative. He is an agile/lean enthusiast who brings the user to the heart of every delivery, with a background in digital projects across media, telecommunications, banking and retail. Find Me was his first foray into the humanitarian sector.
This document outlines a safety plan for the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya. It begins with an introduction and statistics about the camp and country. It then performs analyses including a mind map, problem tree, and stakeholder analysis to understand issues in the camp. Strategies are proposed to improve safety, including increasing security, developing infrastructure like lighting and sanitation, and promoting cultural and economic activities. A proposal and scenario are outlined but not described in detail. The goal is to enhance safety for the 160,000 refugees living in the overcrowded camp.

Lebanese sanctuary but little hope for Syrian refugees | The Australianjamie walker
The document discusses the plight of Syrian refugees in Lebanon. It describes the story of Hoda Masri and her two sons, who fled violence in Syria and now live in a small room in Lebanon with little hope of returning home or improving their situation. It notes that Lebanon now hosts over 2 million Syrian refugees, overwhelming local resources. Refugees struggle with poverty and lack of access to education or jobs. Women and children are especially vulnerable, and refugees have little hope for the future.
The document discusses refugee resettlement efforts and challenges in Latin America. It profiles refugees who have resettled in Mexico, Uruguay, and Brazil and found both success and struggles. Experts recommend strengthening regional coordination on refugee issues and improving integration policies to help refugees better establish themselves in their new homes.
A mass migration of refugees is threatening the economic and social stability of Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, the Palestinian Territories and the European Union. Millions of desperate refugees from Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and sub-Saharan Africa are overwhelming the Middle East and Europe with needs for safety, food and shelter. Their language skills are not viewed as an imperative in the current chaos and yet they remain significant tools for escaping the poverty and misery of refugee life and obtaining employment in host countries. The author profiles how host EU and Middle Eastern countries have addressed refugees’ language needs in the past and present. Suggestions are made for possible strategies for addressing language instruction for refugees.
David Brunetti - scattered pieces of a homelandDavid Brunetti
The document discusses the challenges faced by Syrian refugee women in Jordan and Lebanon. It describes how women have experienced trauma, violence, harassment, and discrimination. As refugees, they struggle to provide basic needs for their families with limited resources and support. The women's centers provide crucial support like counseling, education, healthcare and safe spaces. However, refugee women continue facing difficulties providing for their families, trauma from the war, and worries for loved ones still in Syria.
The document discusses the dire conditions facing Muslims in Syria due to the ongoing 5-year conflict. It notes that over 3.8 million Syrians are now refugees with little hope of returning home. Inside Syria, people struggle to survive from day to day with worsening violence and lack of basic necessities. The suffering is exacerbated by the lack of a political solution to end the conflict, closed borders preventing escape, and growing hostility toward refugees both in neighboring countries and Europe.

Une vie en suspens : le sort des réfugiés syriens en Jordanie et au LibanIpsos France
Alors que le conflit syrien entre dans sa sixième année, les Nations Unies indiquent que plus de 4,6 millions de Syriens se sont réfugiés dans les pays limitrophes, notamment au Liban et en Jordanie.
Cet afflux massif et soudain de réfugiés a engendré une grave crise économique et sociale dans les deux pays d'accueil, ce qui a des conséquences sur la vie des Syriens qui sont venus s'y réfugier.
Afin de comprendre à quoi ressemble la vie des réfugiés syriens dans les pays d'accueil, Ipsos MENA a interrogé 2 200 familles de réfugiés syriens au Liban et en Jordanie sur leur quotidien, leurs difficultés, leurs comportements et leurs espoirs.
The document summarizes the challenges facing Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon five years after fleeing the civil war in Syria. It finds that over half of Syrian refugees were previously displaced within Syria before leaving the country. Most refugees in Jordan and Lebanon rely on aid and temporary work for income, with over 40% of Syrian households in Jordan and 20% in Lebanon having no source of income. It also finds that 50% of school-aged Syrian children in Jordan and Lebanon are not attending school. Despite challenges, most Syrian refugees wish to return home once the conflict ends and still value freedom of thought and equality.

Florence Onyebuchi 'Buchi' Emecheta OBE (21 July 1944 – 25 January 2017) was a Nigerian-born novelist who wrote about women's experiences in patriarchal cultures. She authored over 20 books including Second Class Citizen and The Joys of Motherhood. In India, there is a strong cultural preference for sons over daughters, which has led to about 63 million women "missing" from the population due to practices like sex-selective abortion and neglect of girls. This is due to sons being viewed as assets who will care for parents, while daughters are seen as liabilities who must be dowried. Ending such practices requires changing deep-rooted social and cultural mindsets
Child slavery and child labor continue to impact millions of children worldwide. Many families sell their children into slavery out of desperation to pay debts or survive extreme poverty. Enslaved children are then owned by their masters and face dangerous, abusive work. Two examples are provided of individual children impacted by these practices - Mawulehawe, a 12-year-old boy sold into slavery to work as a fisherman under threat of beatings, and Freddy, an 11-year-old Peruvian boy who mines illegally for gold to avoid beatings from his father despite the risks to his health, education, and development.
This document summarizes research on youth economic security, skills, and empowerment among displaced youth in Jordan. It finds that while youth aspirations are high, their access to education, skills training, work, and social protection is limited due to poverty, gender norms, conflict, and discrimination. However, some youth are able to overcome obstacles through individual commitment, family support, inspiring teachers, and empowerment programs. Such programs provide new skills, role models, mindsets, and social networks that transform outcomes, especially for girls. Ongoing challenges include lack of funding, discrimination, and restrictive gender norms. The research implications call for supporting education, skills training, livelihoods programs, and changing social norms.

This document summarizes findings from the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) longitudinal research programme regarding adolescent mental health and psychosocial wellbeing in Gaza, Jordan, and Lebanon. GAGE is following 20,000 adolescents across multiple countries and has found high levels of psychological distress driven by conflict, violence, poverty and restrictive gender norms. Stressors have intensified during COVID-19, increasing anxiety, depression, and violence in homes and communities. While some services exist, access and acceptability are limited. Expanding gender-sensitive programming and strengthening mental health systems are priorities to better support adolescent wellbeing.
This document contains a collection of images and captions about the Syrian refugee crisis in Lebanon. Some of the key points summarized are:

This document provides a summary of key findings from a health and nutrition survey conducted among Syrian children and women in Turkey. The survey included interviews with over 7,700 Syrians across 10 Turkish provinces and examined demographics, health access and conditions, nutrition, and other issues. Key findings include: over half of Syrian refugees in Turkey are children under 18; over 80% of Syrian women have at least a primary education; chronic diseases and psychological issues like sleep disorders are prevalent, especially among those living longer in Turkey; and while access to healthcare and food is generally good, water and sanitation challenges remain in some areas. The survey aims to inform policies to support the long-term wellbeing of Syrian communities in Turkey.

2. What is UNHCR?
Za’atari refugee camp, Jordan. AFP/Getty Images
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was
established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly.
The agency is mandated to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems
worldwide. Since its creation, the agency has helped tens of millions of
people restart their lives. Today, a staff of more than 7,600 in more than 125
countries continues to help some 33.9 million persons.

She was brought to her brother’s family outside of Beirut, Lebanon, where she now lives with her cousins, brother and his wife.
6.
7. Since March 2011, more than 2.2 million Syrians have fled the country due to violence and unrest.
This is the entire population of some countries.
Over 1.1 million Syrian children have registered as refugees with UNHCR worldwide.
Some 75 per cent are under the age of 12.
UNHCR / E. Byun
8. The majority of Syrian refugees live in Syria’s neighbouring countries.
Jordan and Lebanon host more than 60 per cent of all Syrian refugee children.
Refugees live in camps by the borders as well as in urban cities, in these countries of asylum.
Jordan’s population: 6.5 million
Lebanon’s population: 4.1million
10. “This is the future of Syria, this is your kids,
you cannot continue to have this as a lost generation.”
-Kilian Kleinschmidt,
UNHCR camp manager, Za’atari refugee camp, Jordan
11. Facing New Challenges
Many refugee children suffer from physical, emotional and psychological scars after
witnessing much violence and death. There are also new safety concerns:
bullying and violence between local communities and refugees;
fighting in the camps and domestic violence; instability along the borders where
refugee camps are situated; and theft and vandalism.
UNHCR/G. Beals
12. This was drawn by a 9-year-old boy as his family registered as refugees at Tyre registration centre, Lebanon.
The bus that he and his family took to flee Syria was stopped and robbed by armed men.
To the right of the bus, the boy has written the word ‘death.’
UNHCR/S.Baldwin
13. It “feel[s] like they are in prison.”
- Syrian refugee children on what their home life is like
29 per cent of children leave
their home only once a
week, or less, leading to
isolation, loneliness and
boredom.
Home is often a makeshift
shelter or tent, or cramped
apartment, sometimes
housing 12 – 15 people.
UNHCR/E.Dorfman
I’tmad, 17, lives in a collective shelter in Lebanon that houses more than 700 Syrian refugees. Most days she stays
inside in the single room that her family shares.
Conditions are drastically
worse than in Syria. Some
lack electricity, or where
available, many do not have
enough money to pay for
energy to run basic
appliances like a fridge.
14. Fractured Families
43 of 202 children said at least one of their immediate family members was
dead, detained or missing.
Over 3,700 refugee children are either unaccompanied by or separated from both parents.
Over 70,000 Syrian refugee families live without fathers.
In other cases, children were sent ahead, alone, out of fear for their safety in Syria.

15. “My first wish would be to go back to Syria and
have my father released. Then for things to go
back to the way they were.”
“It was scary… We were suddenly all alone and I
found myself responsible for my siblings... If
anything were to ever happen to them,
I could never live with myself.”
Maher, 16, last saw his father nearly two years
ago. Before his family fled Syria, he and his father
were both detained. Maher was tortured, but
released after nine days. His father was not so
lucky: he is still missing.
Khaled, 15, now lives in Za’atari refugee camp in
Jordan. His parents divorced before the conflict. As
fighting escalated, Khaled’s mother fled north; his
father stayed. Shortly after, Khaled, his brother and
two sisters, and several aunts and cousins escaped
to Jordan to join extended family members, while
his father stayed in Syria.
Maher now lives in Zarqa, Jordan, where his
mother is the only caregiver for his six siblings
ranging in age from four to 18 years old.
Maher just wants his old life back. Until then, he
is facing new challenges. He is afraid to work.
He cannot do so legally and fears arrest, but he
must help support his family. Maher takes on
short-term construction jobs whenever he can,
but because of the torture, he can only work for
a few days at a time without feeling pain in his
shoulder.
Over the course of five months, Khaled and his
siblings were abandoned by all of their extended
family. Without parents, Khaled has become the
family protector, but at a steep price to his own
education and future. He would like to move out of
the camp, but would need to find a job and pay
rent for an apartment. He has two goals: to reunite
with his mother and to send his siblings to school.
UNHCR/O.Laban-Mattei
16. Children as young as 7 years old work to support their families; sometimes making as little as US$7 a day.
As breadwinners they cannot go to school. This theme is common among Syrian refugees.
UNHCR / G. Beals

17. UNHCR/S. Baldwin
Amar, 16, works as a mechanic’s assistant, even though he wants to go to school. Instead, he has to work
to support his family, who were forced to flee after their home was destroyed in a rocket attack.
18. “If people didn’t work, how would they survive?
I feel like a man because I am working.
I put food on the table for my family.”
- Abdallah, 13 years old, Za’atari refugee camp, Jordan
19. “Our lives are destroyed. We’re not being educated,
and without education there is nothing.
We’re heading towards destruction.”
- Nadia, 14-year-old refugee, Irbid, Jordan
Schools are safe places.
Education provides hope for
the future.
Refugees can help rebuild
their country when they can
return.
Educated refugees can also
be successful members of
their new countries.
UNHCR / S. Baldwin

20. “Education is the best thing in life.”

Although her father only completed primary school,

We encourage children to do what’s good for them.
Through education you can achieve goals in your future.”

22. Stories of Dedication to Education and the Future
UNHCR/S.Baldwin
As his family’s sole income-earner
in Lebanon, Waleed, 13, was out
of school when the ambassadors
met him. They convinced him of
the importance of education, so he
started attending school in the
afternoons and working only in the
mornings. He even joined the
programme, taking to the streets of
the camp in the evenings to
encourage others to go to school.
In Za’atari camp, one boy’s father told him he had to stop school to work. He wanted an education, so in
between selling credit for mobile phones in the camp, he would secretly go to school. Because he did not
want his father to know, he would hide his book under his clothes when he left for work in the morning.
23. What is Statelessness?
UNHCR / O. Laban-Mattei
Statelessness is when an individual is not considered a national by any country.
Nationality is the legal bond between a country and an individual.
Stateless people may sometimes also be refugees, but the two categories are
distinct. Statelessness affects an estimated 12 million people worldwide, and occurs
for a variety of reasons. The problem can be prevented through adequate nationality
legislation and procedures as well as universal birth registration.
24. Birth registration is a right of all children under international law, and impacts their entire lives.
However, a majority of Syrian refugee children born in exile are not being registered.
UNHCR is working to change that.
UNHCR / S. Rich
25. Staying Connected
Just like for you, mobile phones and the Internet keep refugees connected
as they wait for the call that it is safe to return home.
26. Martins
Despite an enormous strain on national systems, economies and even stability,
the Governments of both Jordan and Lebanon continue to welcome Syrian refugees,
and facilitate their access to essential services, such as health and education.
Many Lebanese and Jordanians are also reaching out to their Syrian neighbours in solidarity.
27. Like other refugees worldwide, Syrian refugees demonstrate incredible strength and resilience.
They find creative solutions to the issues they face and provide support to their families and communities.
All while looking forward to the day when it is safe to finally return home.
