My colleagues in Girls Not Brides themselves do not go straight into refugee camps or do anything on the ground. We are truly a partnership organization, which means that Girls Not Brides itself is a small secretariat—not even 15 staff. Basically we facilitate the work of this growing membership, allowing them to learn from each other, share experiences, do joint advocacy and joint awareness raising. We are more a service organization than a programmatic organization. We help with the development of communication tools, etc., so I do not have first-hand experience of working in the refugee camps.
However, what I understand from people who do work there and from some of our partner organizations—we could put you in contact with some of them, if you're interested, and I think this is a broader problem than just that of the Syrian refugees alone—is that you see a situation in which people end up in what seem to be temporary situations, in camps, and therefore we only give them the basic needs, health and food. But people in too many places in the world end up living in these camps not just for years, but for decades.
I think that as an international community we're not doing enough to think about the long-term perspective for these people, including educational and economic opportunities, etc. I know there are efforts similar to what was being described by my colleagues in terms of girls' empowerment and sensitization of parents and the elderly people in the camps about the dangers of child marriage, but as long as we don't provide good alternatives, it's going to be very hard to keep these increasing levels down.
