Last week, Dutch Ambassador Hans Sandee visited FYF’s Enterprise and Training Center (ETC). FYF’s County Director, Hewan Omer, and Livelihoods Manager, Khalida Nawaf gave the Ambassador a tour of the ETC and explained the services FYF is currently providing to support displaced women to learn new skills and become economically empowered.

They discussed the current conditions of Yezidis who, nearly 9 years after the genocide, still suffer from internal displacement and a lack of services and resources. FYF staff also highlighted the recent hate speech against Yezidis and the resulting fear the community has of being targeted again.
