With SCORING GIRLS* Iraq, we offer refugee girls and young women a safe space in which they can experience joy and work through traumatic experiences through team sports and exercise programs. Highly qualified coaches (including Iraqi professional football players) are actively involved in the project and act as role models and inspiration for the girls. As part of the project, we also offer accompanying psychosocial support and trauma therapy for the participants in group and individual sessions.
In 2023, over 270 girls took part in twice-weekly football training sessions, team sports and exercise programs. In addition, a third SCORING GIRLS* Iraq location was opened in Dohuk, complementing the two existing locations in camps for internally displaced persons.
