In a signing ceremony today between the Ambassador of Italy, Massimo Marotti, and the UN Under Secretary General, and ESCWA Executive Secretary, Mohamed Ali Alhakim, a new project was launched that will empower women refugees from Syria and vulnerable women and girls in host communities to play an active role in improving their lives and advocating for their rights.
This new partnership between the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UN-ESCWA), the Directorate General for Development Cooperation (DGCS) of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) seeks to increase the participation of women in peace-building processes so they can make important contributions in their communities.
