Syrian Women's Council meets in Tal Brak ahead of National Women’s Conference
In preparation for the Syrian Women’s Conference, the Syrian Women’s Council organized an expanded meeting in Tal Brak, emphasizing the importance of women’s participation in drafting the constitution and their role in Syria’s political and social landscape.
As part of the ongoing preparations for the "Syrian Women’s Conference," the Syrian Women’s Council held a large meeting in the city of Tal Brak, in the Jazira Canton, attended by dozens of women from the city as well as representatives from civil institutions and political parties. The aim was to enhance feminist engagement and unify perspectives on women’s issues and their role in Syria’s future.
The meeting, held in the Tal Brak City Council Hall, began with a moment of silence in honor of the martyrs, followed by a detailed explanation from Mariam Al-Hayani, a member of the Syrian Women’s Council, about the council’s work, internal regulations, and general objectives.
Mariam Al-Hayani affirmed that “empowering women in various fields, ensuring their freedom of thought and expression, and granting them all their legitimate rights are the cornerstone of the council’s work.”
Arifa Bakr, another member of the Syrian Women’s Council, emphasized the importance of involving women in the political process, stating that “excluding or marginalizing women from contributing to the drafting of the Syrian constitution is unacceptable.”
She added, “We are working diligently to ensure the success of the Syrian Women’s Conference and to amplify the voice of Syrian women in all forums, in order to achieve meaningful participation in political, social, and legal life.”
Arifa Bakr also called for “achieving social justice based on equality between women and men, and recognizing the pivotal role women have played during the Syrian revolution,” stressing that women’s involvement in shaping the country’s future is not a political luxury but a societal necessity.
On the sidelines of the meeting, Arifa Bakr told ANHA agency that “this meeting is part of a series of informational sessions organized by the Syrian Women’s Council across North and East Syria, in preparation for the Syrian National Women’s Dialogue Conference. Through it, we aim to gather the opinions of women from various communities and explain the draft social contract, which guarantees active participation for women in the new constitution and public life.”
These preliminary meetings are part of a broader movement among women's groups in North and East Syria to strengthen genuine partnerships between men and women in building a pluralistic civil society that secures women’s political, social, and economic rights and restores their pioneering roles during the years of conflict.
