The Inspiring Darfur Girls to Achieve Project seeks to improve welfare and status of war-affected women and girls through the provision of sustainable services for women’s development into peacetime.
The impact of this complex emergency in Darfur has created the most pronounced needs for women and girls. This is in part because women and girls have historically faced gaps in accessibility to education, leadership, healthcare and other rights prior to the conflict. Thus, this program seeks to combat the effects of the ongoing conflict on women and girls and counter pre-existing conditions that have restricted women’s development and status overall.
Through the construction and management of a network of Women’s Development Centers, RI seeks to provide a civil society resource that benefits women and girls during the conflict and into peacetime.
Local women and educators will carry out the program’s activities, which will promote a long-term support system that will influence generations of girls. The program will give the future female leaders the tools to learn and dream again.
“Women in Darfur do not have the opportunity to participate in decision-making. I want to change that, and I think education is the key.”
- Miriam Abdallah, RI Women's Development Officer
