- Description
Due to the Syrian war for more than a decade, camps restricted to widowed and divorced women have emerged, dubbed "widows' camps." These are home to tens of thousands of widows and other women who face compound challenges. In addition to the difficulty of living in camps generally—especially with the decline of camp support in Syria—women in widows' camps experience compounded violence, as they are considered easy targets for abusers, particularly through digital means. This study explores the dimensions of digital violence experienced by a number of residents in widows' camps while providing recommendations for stakeholders to protect women and make the digital space safer.
