Since the start of the civil war, more than 3 million Syrian refugees have fled their country. Over 1.7 million are living in Turkey, with many families seeking asylum in refugee camps along the border. 4 out of 5 Syrian refugees are women and children, and women now make up more than half of the workers in the camps. Many of these women are working outside their homes for the first time.
