Project for empowering the Women of Deir Dalloum

The Safadi Foundation conducted a field survey study to assess the socio-economic status of women in Deir Dalloum. The study showed that, the women of  Deir Dalloum, who represent a population living in deep poverty, experience minimal participation in any form of socio-economic activity. This can be attributed to low levels of education accompanied with little to no knowledge of their personal and legal rights. Their awareness in terms of their own personal development is especially lacking in the issues of gender and the role of the woman in the family and society.
