There are 77 shelters in Al-Hassakeh Governorate. An estimated 129,041 displaced people are reported to have returned to their places of origin. Of these, 118,936 have returned to Al-Hassakeh and Ar-Raqqa, including: 18,200 to Qamishli, 7,625 to Tal Tamer, 8,425 to Al-Malikeyyeh, 42,869 to Ras Al Ain and 41,817 to Tal Abyad in Ar-Raqqa. In Aleppo 10,105 have returned, mainly to Menbij.[1] With the continued drastic drops in temperatures, women and girls are adversely affected by the cold weather and dire needs for NFIs that will protect them from the weather continue to persist.

Reporting on Gender Based Violence in the Syria Crisis - A Journalist’s Handbook
This handbook is designed to help journalists take on this challenging topic, with a particular emphasis on Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt and Turkey, those countries most affected by the Syrian crisis.
The handbook has been developed by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). It sets out to examine some of the terminology, ethical questions, and practical concerns associated with covering GBV, and to provide an overview of some of the organisations involved in combating GBV and providing support services for survivors.
Whilst effective reporting on GBV requires a certain amount of extra effort to get it right, doing so involves building upon internationallyrecognised ethical principles which all journalists should be familiar with: accuracy, fairness, as well as respect for and protection of your interviewees.
