TRUST FUNDS

UN TRUST FUND TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN “Before I was not going out of house. Now I can go to anywhere else. I have courage to go somewhere, talk to some people.” “Safety is a huge part of being displaced. If you feel safe, then most things – even if you’ve seen the worst – most things feel okay.”

The Free Yezidi Foundation Women’s Centre offers urgently needed trauma therapy to women and girls in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, many of whom have experienced horrific violence. Participants attend for three months, taking part in a combination of therapeutic, educational and livelihood activities.
