International Women’s Day 2019: Women surviving in emergency settings
Millions of women in the Eastern Mediterranean Region continue to be affected by years of war, displacement, and poverty. The conditions these women face everyday are extremely harsh. From losing their husbands and children, to fleeing their homes and struggling to find safe shelter, their journeys are filled with severe hardship. As conflict continues unabated, women remain remarkably resilient and strong. On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, we show a few examples of these brave women surviving in emergency contexts.


Doctor Saba works with a team of male health professionals to deliver healthcare to the Yazidi community in Zumar sub-district, Talafar District. More often than not, women prefer to consult with her because she is female. “The female patients feel comfortable with me. I examine, treat and counsel every patient that comes to me. I know what happened during the war and how this has left many people traumatized.”
IWD 2019: the resilience of women in Syria
Meet Samar. The 38-year-old woman is caring for her family and extended family of 10.
With a helping hand from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and our partner NGO Syrian Arab Red Crescent – الهلال الأحمر العربي السوري , Samar started her own business and is now able to provide for her family.
Women in #Syria have suffered for 8 long years. Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we honor the resilient women of Syria.
According to research:
- 740 million women currently make their living in the informal economy with limited access to social protection, public services and infrastructure that could increase their productivity and income security.
- Women do 2.6 times more unpaid care and domestic work than men, with only 41 per cent of the world’s mothers with newborns receiving maternity benefits.
- One in three women are likely to face violence in their lifetimes, yet public services, urban planning and transport systems are rarely planned with women’s safety and mobility in mind.
