As part of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence campaign, SRPD hosted a remarkable event at the Drop-in Center for refugees and asylum seekers. The event focused on raising awareness about combating violence against women and supporting refugee and asylum-seeking women. It also highlighted inspiring success stories of women who launched small businesses to improve their livelihoods and strengthen their economic independence.
The event witnessed outstanding participation from refugee and asylum-seeking women who showcased their diverse and creative products, including traditional food, incense, and handicrafts. The event provided a platform for exchanging experiences and ideas, and it was a unique opportunity to highlight women’s creativity and strengthen their role in society.
The event was distinguished by the presence of SRPD staff and valuable participation from SRPD partners, whose support and engagement played a key role in the event’s success. This participation reflected all parties’ commitment to working together to support and protect women from violence, with a focus on strengthening their role in building safer and more sustainable communities.
The event proved that every woman has the power to make a positive change in her life and build a better future characterized by safety and dignity. Empowering women is not just a collective responsibility, but a humanitarian commitment and an essential step towards building a society free from violence against women.
