Title: The Political Participation of Syrian Women in the Three Influence Zones
Publisher: Al-Furat Center for Studies
Release date:2021
Despite Syrian women demonstrating their effectiveness in popular movements, they have continued to face political, structural, religious, and societal obstacles that, overall, have reduced their roles in decision-making.
What has exacerbated the situation for women is the lack of a protective environment for their independence, both in the traditional and legal sense. The approach to their roles varies according to differences in ideology, political belief, cultural values, and societal perspectives, both supportive and conservative. These variations are influenced by the concepts of gender collaboration in light of the current political, military, and economic situation in areas under the control of the Syrian government, the opposition, and The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).
In this section of the study, we will shed light on the participation of Syrian women in positions of authority and decision-making within the Syrian government, the opposition, and The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). Using statistical language, digital data, observation, and field interviews with the sample under study, we will deduce the effectiveness or formality of women’s contribution in top leadership, political and popular councils, ministries, and similar positions and roles.
The study’s axes will be enriched with informational backgrounds and contexts (legal, political, social, historical, etc.) to provide objective and methodical scientific insights into the logical presentation of the researched topic. This will include a focus on using visual representation and graphics to facilitate the reader’s comprehension of the content presented smoothly and without ambiguity or confusion.
In this context, we have resorted to the administrative division (intentional) of the geographical boundaries of the study due to the variation and political, ideological, and value-related differences of the parties managing the Syrian conflict zones. This entire matter represents a problem that must be analyzed transparently and accurately.[1]
