Promoting Social Cohesion in Territories Affected by the Conflict with ISIS in Northern Iraq
Iraq
The armed conflict between the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the Iraqi government and its allies triggered a major humanitarian crisis, contributing to human rights and gender equality deterioration. Millions of people are internally displaced and/or need humanitarian assistance. Minority groups such as Christians and Yazidis are also seriously affected due to pre-existing deep-rooted discrimination.
In 2022, Fight for Humanity will begin work in collaboration with the Public Health Organization (P.H.O) on a project based on building social cohesion between different social groups in Iraq. While only a supporting NGO in the project we will be providing our expertise to the creation of agreements in post-conflict situations. The project aims to result in the creation of a strong community mechanism for sustainable peace and social cohesion through a focus on the participation of local actors including various civil groups, social groups, civilians, and police forces.
