Rahaf, one of 150 participants in the Girls Shine programme in Raqqa, northeastern Syria, shared how the initiative transformed her life: "With the encouragement of friends, I joined Girls Shine and gained valuable skills like building my self-confidence and protecting myself from harassment." Through this programme, girls like Rahaf are discovering their strengths, connecting with peers, and developing leadership skills to confidently exercise their rights.
