Over 5 million Syrians have been displaced to neighbouring countries as a result of the conflict in Syria, leaving significant Housing, Land and Property (HLP) assets behind, including family homes, agricultural land, shops, businesses and other income-producing property. Protection of those rights is critical for access to durable solutions for Syrian refugees, regardless of whether they chose to return to Syria at some point, remain in host countries or resettle elsewhere. As part of a regional approach, NRC actively promotes the protection of HLP rights for Syrian refugees displaced in Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon through the provision of information on HLP rights, as well as counselling and legal assistance, to allow refugees to protect their HLP rights in Syria whilst in displacement.
NRC is seeking a consultant To better help Syrian refugee women protect their HLP rights in Syria in practice, research the social, cultural, familial considerations and pressures on women which affect their ability to protect and claim their rights.
