Transwomen refugees face extreme violence and discrimination in the cities where they seek refuge. In 2016, WRC partnered with MOSAIC, a Lebanese human rights organization, to support Syrian transwomen refugees living in Beirut. This case study describes how tailored activities brought refugee and Lebanese transwomen together to: provide psyschosocial support; build skills and capacities for activism and risk reduction; and strengthen peer networks.
