This publication is dedicated to Syrian adolescent girls throughout the region, many of whom are grappling with enormous challenges on a daily basis and yet continue to defy numerous odds to fight for their basic human rights. Special thanks go to the courageous girls who shared their stories with UNFPA in order to help the international community understand the many struggles they encounter on their journey to adulthood and help shine light on their resilience during the most difficult of circumstances.
UNFPA is also grateful to all the donors and implementing partners whose support has enabled the delivery of a wide array of programmes geared toward Syrian women and girls region-wide, thus providing these adolescent girls with the platforms and support they need to share their stories with the world. UNFPA’s programmes are currently supported by Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, The European Commission, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
