Description:
In partnership with Act for the Disappeared, ABAAD Resource Centre for Gender Equality organises support groups for women of the families of the disappeared since 2014. ABAAD has been working in 5 districts, selected according to ICRC’s mapping of victims of disappearance, covering Tripoli, Tyre, Ein El-Remeneh, Shatila Camp, Deir Al-Amar and Aley. The support group sessions involve a psychotherapist facilitating discussions among the victims to identify common issues and possible interventions. The sessions are conducted with the support of local organizations (e.g. Najdeh - a Palestinian organization provided organizational support for the Shatila Camp support groups).
