Three women working now at Blumont shared their inspiring stories of how they overcame the challenges of displacement and became productive and independent.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Blumont, an NGO that works for the benefit of refugees and host populations, has held a virtual discussion session to champion and empower women at the Zaatari camp as part of the Community-Based Protection Programme supported by the UNHCR.
Enhancing women self-esteem, helping them envision brighter future, developing inherent potentialities and empowering women economically, are among many topics that were discussed thoroughly during the session, according to a Blumont statement.
