Your donation will help Synergy for Justice equip and elevate women to lead social change, peace-building, and justice processes in Syrian communities. Syrian women have traditionally been excluded from leadership roles. However, over the last ten years of civil war, they have endured the same arbitrary detention, torture, and sexual violence as the men in their families and communities. Now is the time to ensure women are included in transitional justice processes that will meet their needs and the needs of their children.
Historically, women have been marginalised in Syria; men have always been the leaders in our society. But since the revolution, things have changed. Women have had to take on great responsibilities since the war started, and we have suffered the same as men. Now it’s time for equality. We want to contribute to peace-building and justice, and it is our right.
- Syrian Woman, Advocating for Elevating Women
Women’s views and interests are different from men’s. Men draft laws based on their needs without even trying to be fair to women. The media also covers events and news from a man’s perspective. This cannot work for transitional justice. We will never achieve peace in Syria if women are excluded in the same way they have been traditionally. We must push for accountability and stop dictatorship
