The Grassroots Network to protect the Economic Rights in its third year
ADWAR Association opened the activities of the grassroots network project to protect the economic rights for the third year through psychological and social support sessions, which were implemented in cooperation with the Al-Khader Women’s Club, Marah Ma’alla Youth Club in Bethlehem, Tarqumiya Women’s Club, and the Women’s Protection Committee in Beit Mersem in the Hebron Governorate.
The sessions aimed to respond to the social needs of women and young women affected by war by alleviating tension, fear and pain, restoring self-confidence and self-assertion, stimulating economic independence and social participation to live in dignity and health, so that young women and women are able to meet their basic economic and social needs.
One of the participants expressed, “Since women have a beautiful ability to adapt, are supportive of everyone, and seek to provide safety for everyone, the presence of a threat to safety affects them psychologically, and they may enter into a state of frustration, which affects their surroundings in general, because they are emotionally and intellectually supportive, and the biggest problem remains when “Loss, so there must be a psychological support for them to confront the traumas resulting from the war, which is very important to give them hope and the ability to continue life again.”
This project comes within the Feminism for Women’s Economic Rights (FEM PAWER) program, which is implemented by a coalition of four women’s rights organizations in the Middle East and North Africa region, led by the Swedish Women’s Foundation (KTK), with the Arab Women’s Association from Jordan ( AWO) the Research and Training Group for Development Action from Lebanon (CRTDA), and the Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development from Palestine (PWWSD), funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
