Ms Brid Kennedy:

I will take one or two in order to start the ball rolling. I thank the Deputies for their questions. Syria is the size of Spain, so it is a very large country and there are different experiences in different areas. As mentioned in my brief, in some areas, the conflict has stopped and that is allowing people to rebuild their lives. Concern is planning to do a lot more to support Syrians who are returning and even those people who never moved to rebuild their lives through agricultural production, vocational training and business development. Concern is looking at the conflict through a very gendered lens as well because it has been very gendered. Many women who never worked outside the home no longer have husbands or adult males in the family and find themselves cast in the role of breadwinner. We are supporting men and women with appropriate skill sets and skill building to recover themselves. This is definitely an area on which Concern wants to focus a lot more.
