As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance women’s protection and empower them economically and socially, the DAN Foundation for Relief and Development launched a vocational training program in tailoring within the safe space for women and girls at the foundation’s center in the Al-Sabha area in the Deir ez-Zor countryside.

The training began in June with the participation of 20 women returnees from Al-Hol Camp and will continue over a period of two months, as part of a series of activities implemented by the foundation to support the most vulnerable women and help them build a more stable future.

The program aims to equip participants with essential professional skills in tailoring, enabling them to enter the labor market or launch their own small projects in the future, in addition to providing the necessary tools to help them begin their professional journey.

The training also contributes to enhancing self-reliance, creating opportunities for sustainable income sources, as well as supporting the psychological and social recovery of participants and strengthening their integration into their local communities, thereby reinforcing the role of women as active partners in the recovery and development process.

DAN continues to implement programs aimed at empowering women and girls, stemming from its belief that capacity building and creating economic opportunities are essential pillars for achieving sustainable recovery and strengthening social cohesion.

As humanitarian challenges persist, the importance of initiatives that support psychological recovery and promote social integration for the most vulnerable groups becomes increasingly evident. These efforts represent a fundamental component of building more cohesive, resilient, and stable communities

In this context, Dan Relief and Development continues to implement its interventions aimed at supporting the reintegration and empowerment of women returning from Al-Hol Camp, through the Reintegration Project at a Safe Center in the Al‑Subha area of central Deir Ezzor countryside.

As part of the project activities, the organization’s teams conducted specialized trainings for 25 members of community committees on the principles of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS). The trainings aimed to strengthen their understanding of psychosocial support mechanisms and enhance community ownership of the project, ensuring the sustainability of these efforts in the long term.

The activities also included psychological awareness sessions for women and adolescent girls returning from Al-Hol Camp, alongside life skills sessions for children, contributing to their psychological recovery and enhancing their ability to positively adapt within the community. In addition, the project implemented community awareness campaigns targeting adolescent girls on the risks of early marriage, and women on gender-based violence (GBV) and reporting mechanisms. Individual psychological support sessions were also provided for cases requiring specialized follow-up.

Through these activities, DAN reaffirms its ongoing commitment to supporting psychosocial recovery and strengthening the role of women and adolescent girls within the community, contributing to the creation of a safer and more cohesive environment for all.
