Dialogue Session on the Needs of Women Returning from Displacement
Nabaa Madloul, a graduate of the sixth generation of the Youth Leaders Program from Anbar Governorate, implemented a community initiative with the support of Tammuz Organization for Social Development. The initiative consisted of a dialogue session entitled “The Needs of Women Returning from Displacement,” held on Thursday, 3 September 2026.
The session was attended by a group of women returning from displacement, in addition to female employees from government institutions concerned with the topic of the session. Participants shared their experiences and discussed the challenges they faced before, during, and after displacement and return. The discussion also addressed a number of issues facing returning women and families, particularly legal and social challenges.
The session further discussed the challenges faced by children born in circumstances of forced marriage, particularly difficulties related to obtaining official documentation and determining their legal status. It also reviewed issues and challenges facing the community in the areas of health, education, and social affairs.
At the conclusion of the session, the participants were divided into groups to discuss the main challenges, identify priorities, and develop appropriate proposals to address them. These issues and recommendations will subsequently be presented to the relevant authorities in Anbar Governorate through meetings with officials and the submission of formal requests and proposals aimed at contributing to practical solutions.
This initiative is part of a series of community initiatives implemented by program graduates after completing the program, as part of their social responsibility towards their communities and with the aim of serving the community and raising awareness on various social and humanitarian issues.
It is worth noting that the Youth Leaders Program aims to develop community leaders and is implemented annually by Tammuz Organization for Social Development in partnership with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES). To date, six generations have graduated from the program, comprising more than 160 young men and women from different governorates, religions, sects, and ethnic backgrounds.
