Who we are:
Amal Healing and Advocacy Center (AHAC) is an organisation led by women specialised in empowering women and raising their capabilities. It aims to create a safe society for women in which they enjoy their full rights without discrimination or violence. The aim of establishing the organisation is to contribute to building a Syrian society based on justice, equality and rights for all individuals, especially women and marginalised groups, including those with disabilities and those affected by violations, and responding in particular to their needs related to psychological and social support and legal advice. The organisation was established in 2014 in the Turkish city of Antakya, located near the Syrian-Turkish border, which hosts a large number of refugees from different regions in Syria.
What we do:
AHAC seeks to achieve equality and prevent violence against women, whether within the family or within society as a whole, through the following:
- Contribute to making a change in the status of women in Syrian society and support them by increasing their awareness of their rights and opportunities through advocacy campaigns, awareness-raising sessions, and meetings with decision- makers and key and influential people, whether in the refugee community or inside Syria.
- Providing psychosocial support services by providing safe spaces for women, girls and children to carry out social activities that relieve life stresses due to asylum.
- Providing specialised services in the psychological and legal field for women affected by violence in all its forms. Especially in times of wars and crises, especially survivors of detention and sexual violence, families of victims of enforced disappearance and victims of human rights violations in all its forms.
- Carrying out capacity building activities and empowering women at all levels, whether in the political, legal, administrative or professional fields, to be able to truly participate in public affairs or at the family level.
