March 15 marked the sixth year since the start of the Syrian war. Lebanon, being a small Middle Eastern country facing constant political and national unity challenges with a population of approximately 450,000 Palestinian and Iraqi refugees, has been the shelter for more than two million registered Syrian refugees since 2011. The number of Palestinian, Iraqi and Syrian refugees is estimated to be at a percentage of 32% of the Lebanese population, if not more.
Mira Neaimeh is from Lebanon. She is a member of the Orthodox Youth Movement and of the World Student Christian Federation (WSCF), and was one of the speakers of a World Council of Churches (WCC) co-sponsored side event ‚Empowering Refugee Women and Children through Education and Employment’ at the 61st session of the Commission on the Status of Women held in New York on March 13-24.

About Life and Work
The month of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland will be almost
upon us as this issue reaches our readers. Reports will be debated and
pronouncements made on a wide range of issues. One thing will be evident: the wind of change will begin to blow over the shape of the Church. After a series of roadshows over the length and breadth of the land from London to Lerwick the feedback on the future of the Church is being carefully analysed and considered.
