News Center- The Syrian Women’s Council held a panel titled, “Challenges faced by women in the Syrian coastal rural areas since the fall of the regime” in the Ras Al-Basit area of Latakia with the participation of a group of women living in rural areas.

The participants discussed the challenges faced by women living in rural areas since the fall of the Assad regime, women’s role in the new Syria and how to increase women’s participation in politics and decision-making positions in the new Syria.

Women's burden has gotten heavier

 At the panel, women stressed that the lack of support by international and local associations left them in a difficult situation while the country suffers from a deepening economic crisis, emphasizing that women’s burden “has gotten heavier due to the deteriorating security conditions in Syria”.

At the end of the panel, women decided to hold more panels and awareness-raising activities so that women living in rural areas play a more active role in the new Syria.
