By Emma Batha LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – The Syrian refugee crisis is changing women’s traditional roles with increasing numbers becoming heads of households and the main breadwinners, an international aid agency said on Saturday ahead of a global refugee summit. Most women view the changes negatively with many feeling far more vulnerable to violence, abuse and harassment, CARE said in a report as it called for world leaders to put women refugees at the heart of the Sept. 19 and 20 talks in New York. Others have risked their lives to reach Europe.
