The Women Now organisation plays an important role in Syria, in Ghouta, Idlib and Aleppo and Lebanon, in the movement enabling women and girls to obtain education where little or none was available to them before. In order to train, educate and support Syrian women economically, professionally, socially and culturally they have created internet cafes and centers where women and girls are protected and receive training in skills which allow them to earn a living, even more vital now that many are sole providers for their families during wartime. Fighting illiteracy and increasing women’s employment opportunities, financial independence and entrepreneurship lies at the center of their work.
