In cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the team of the Syrian Society for Social Development (SSSD), al-Qamishli, conducted sessions in some Qamishli neighborhoods (Corniche and al-Tai) for women displaced from Ras al-Ain.Sessions started with an introductory activity on SSSD services.

Then the women were given the opportunity to acquaint with each other using the wool ball icebreaker. Displacement and the problems faced by the displaced were also addressed, including the consequences they suffer from, first by choosing emojis that express their current feelings. Activities included identifying women's needs for basic items, such as food, clothing, blankets, female personal hygiene items, baby milk and diapers for their children, medicines and medical supplies for the elderly, etc.

Women's needs for psychological interventions were identified, as some of them are still traumatized by the conditions of war and losses due to hostilities and frequent, successive displacements under shelling and bullets. The women expressed their distress of being totally dependent on host families, as most households received more than three families in one house. The women also suggested that their children go to the community center for emotional relief.

At the end of the activities, each woman wrote down a wish on a star and sticked up it on a cardboard, most wishes being the end of the war and return to their homes.
