Women: taking control of their own destiny
Contrary to certain preconceived ideas, women affected by conflicts are not passive victims. They put their energy and expertise into improving their day-to-day life and strengthening their community.

“Let’s Explore Humanitarian Law” is an educational programme developed by the ICRC which presents teenagers with the basic rules and fundamental principles of international humanitarian law. The programme, which has been successful across the globe, uses case studies to encourage students to assess the needs of men and women in environments affected by violence and war.
The hope is that, in the future, they will adopt behaviour that does not involve using violence to solve their problems. Secondary school for girls in Yemen, 2004.
