Jina Al Dar documentary
Displacement and migration are often accompanied by a high prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) among Syrian refugee communities in Lebanon. The problem is exacerbated by the scarcity of adequate holistic GBV services and the lack of information amongst refugee communities on available services. ABAAD –Resource Center for Gender Equality Founder & Director, Ghida Anani, launched the ‘’Jina Al-Dar’’ Programme in 2016 to reach the unreachable with a bus visiting the most marginalized areas of Lebanon. With a specialized team and volunteers, the mobile bus provides services aiming to prevent and reduce all forms of violence against women and girls. The overall goal of ‘’Jina Al-Dar’’ is to improve protection prospects for both refugees and host communities in Lebanon, not only by providing life-saving services but also by empowering rights-holders to exercise their rights, gain full agency, and fulfill their potential as equal members of society. Since 2016, the bus has reached over 20,000 women, men, and children. ABAAD aims to extend this work to Syria to help people directly through programs implemented by ABAAD, and indirectly by building the capacity of Syrian civil society organizations to effectively implement gender equality and GBV prevention & response programs.
