Background:
RefuSHE is an organization in Kenya devoted to protecting and empowering urban, unaccompanied, and separated refugee children and youth, especially girls, young women, and their children, living in Nairobi, Kenya. Our holistic model provides opportunities for refugee girls to access their human rights, experience economic success, build transferable skills, and become leaders in their own communities.
COVID-19 heightened the economic vulnerability of refugee women and girls. Moreover, the suspension of educational activities in 2020-2021 increased the likelihood that refugee young women and girls would drop out of school and become vulnerable to child labor, child marriage, and other forms of exploitation.
