Help bring new opportunities to young people in Mosul

The Iraqi Children Foundation funds the operating costs of a ”Safe Space” for adolescent girls in Mosul. This center provides social and psychosocial support for vulnerable girls, as well as educational support and a sense of belonging. 

Many girls in this area have previously been displaced and are only now returning to Mosul. There is an increased need for support for girls experiencing negative coping mechanisms, trauma, psychological distress and gender-based violence. 

Girls at the center have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities, including sports, sewing and crafts, reading and developing computer literacy. They have access to social workers, a library and medical care. Group and individual therapy is also provided.
