Syria news updates: Kaleidoscope events are happening one after another in Syria. President Assad has fled the country to Russia. The rebel groups have taken over, but among those rebels, small groups are also fighting internally to increase their strength, hence the situation of the women living there has become quite serious.
Actually, there is a political vacuum in Syria at this time. Women do not get full justice because these groups are either linked to organizations linked to Al-Qaeda or to radical groups like ISIS. He verbally reassures the women that the survey is considered equal, that it is a revolution. But, the question is how long will this assurance last?
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) published its 13th annual report on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November 2024. It depicts the plight of women during the 13-year war in Syria. Many women were killed in this civil war. He was arrested without any legal action. Thousands of women were disappeared and separated from their families. She was also raped. The women who did not surrender were subjected to unbearable torture, resulting in their death.
Thus, since the civil war started in 2011, 11268 women have gone missing. Of these, 117 women died due to excessive beating. The report also said that 11553 rape cases have been reported. As of 2024, at least 1,951 Kutubmos have fled this northwestern part of Syria, a rebel stronghold, as a result of the civil war. They have also left their homeland because of the torture of the then authorities (Bashar’s authorities), 80 percent of those refugees are women and children.
Thus, women in Syria suffer from both sides, be it the Assaf government or the rebels. Now he has assured the rebels that do not be afraid, we are revolutionaries, we will not torture you but it remains to be seen how long this assurance lasts.
