Education is free for all throughout its different stages. Legislation was enacted to guarantee women's participation on an equal footing with men in the process of social and economic development. The presence of Syrian Arab women is clearly felt at all levels of power and decision-making. Grass-root organizations and civil society actively participate in the development of our society. The Federation of Syrian Women played an important role in advancing and increasing awareness of women's issues and integrating their concerns in the national agenda.
Peace is the primary concern and preoccupation of women in Syria.
Women are the first victims of Israel's persistent violation of any attempt to translate the dream of peace into a tangible reality. Syrian Arab women in the Golan are the first victims of Israeli occupation. Israel violates their human rights and subjects them to all forms of violence and oppression. This is unfortunately also the fate of our Palestinian sisters lingering under Israeli occupation. We renew our commitment to a just and comprehensive peace, which to us is a strategic choice.
