Syria Eviction Guidance Note Highlights Protection Risks
WHY IT MATTERS
The Eviction Guidance Note emphasizes the need for clear processes, early information sharing, and coordinated action to prevent and respond to eviction, which can have far-reaching protection consequences for displaced and vulnerable households in Syria.
What happened
The Syrian Arab Republic's Housing, Land and Property (HLP) Technical Working Group has released an Eviction Guidance Note. The note highlights the drivers of eviction, including landowner requests, administrative decisions, and housing affordability constraints.
Eviction can lead to secondary displacement, loss of livelihoods, and heightened protection risks, including gender-based violence and family separation.
The impacts of eviction often require coordinated engagement from HLP, Protection, CCCM, Shelter, and other relevant actors.
