Community Centres Provide Protection and Releif to Displaced Syrians

The UN Refugee Agency in Syria, hand in hand with its partners, has established a network of community centres in different areas in Syria.

These centres are safe public places where women, men, boys and girls of diverse backgrounds can meet for social and recreational activities and obtain integrated protection services ranging from legal aid, education and livelihood support to psycho-social support, SGBV prevention and response and child protection interventions, in accordance with their humanitarian needs.

The services provided through these centers can empower displaced people to cope with the consequences of the crisis and strengthen their resilience.

The UN Refugee Agency has already opened 74 centres across Syria (and aims to open another 26 centres in 2017).
