Rockflower is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Center for Civil Society and Democracy.

The Center for Civil Society and Democracy (CCSD) works to support a tolerant and inclusive democracy for Syria where there is respect for diversity, justice, equality, and freedom for all Syrians.

Many Syrian women face roadblocks to participate in society in a meaningful and impactful way and with the impact of COVID-19, having limited or no access to technology exacerbates the isolation and further impacts women’s labor force participation negatively. Digital literacy has been proven as a factor that improves women’s access to employment opportunities where providing useful and applied skills can build confidence and create more opportunities for women. CCSD is launching the Supporting Syrian Women to Have Access to Technology project as an initiative and plans to expand this effort in order to create a platform for a concerted effort towards closing gender gaps in digital literacy as the world moves faster and faster towards online communication.
