Finalization of the Inter-Cluster Action Plan for Widows’ Camps

According to 2021 data provided by the Syria Cross-Border Protection Cluster, 33 of the camps have dedicated Gender-based Violence (GBV) programming. Meanwhile, data from 2022 suggests that 20 of these camps have dedicated Child Protection programming. This programming also expands to cases outside these sites, reaching children who had to leave these camps and became separated from their mothers/primary caregivers.

The Protection Cluster is currently finalizing an Inter-Cluster Action Plan for Widows’ Camps.

The Action Plan involves the systematic collection of information on humanitarian needs in the camps and identification of segregation in other informal and formal regular displacement sites. It also aims to scale up GBV Livelihood programming, increase GBV and Child Protection programming, and increase access to WASH, education and mobile health services. This include but is not limited to treatment for malnutrition and awareness raising on substance abuse and addiction.
