Women's calls for generalization of women-led DAA Model in new Syria
Women's circles in North and East Syria are cautiously following the moves of the Damascus authorities regarding women's participation and representation in the process of building the new Syria. This comes at a time when calls are growing to extend the experience of the Autonomous Administration, characterized by women's leadership, to the entire Syrian geography.
Amid ongoing efforts to form an inclusive, democratic Syrian government, the voices of women in North and East Syria are rising, demanding an effective and fundamental role in shaping the country's future. They emphasize that building a pluralistic Syria cannot be completed without the real participation of women in all fields.
In this context, Asia Al-Ali, an administrator in the Zenobia Women's Gathering in Raqqa Canton, said: "Women in North and East Syria have achieved 50% representation, and today they participate as co-chair in judicial, military, and political institutions. Women here have a powerful voice and represent a role model for the rest of the women of Syria."
Asia criticized the marginalization of women in the new government formation in Damascus, noting that this marginalization reflects the persistence of old mentalities that do not believe in women's capabilities, creating an imbalance in the governance structure.
She added, "The new government must be built on real foundations, the most important of which is the inclusion of all components and sects, especially women, in drafting the constitution, enacting laws, and actively participating in institutions, to achieve a democratic Syria that embraces all its spectrums."
For her part, Mayada Al-Ahmad, a member of the Zenobia Women's Gathering Council in Raqqa Canton, emphasized that women in the areas of the Democratic Autonomous Administration have become leaders and decision-makers. She said, "We hope that this successful experience will extend to the rest of Syria's governorates, and that women will play an active role in drafting the new constitution and laws, having proven their worth in political and military work."
Fatima al-Hassan, a member of the Women's Economy Committee of the Zenobia Women's Gathering in Raqqa, emphasized that women in northern and eastern Syria have achieved tangible accomplishments in a short period of time. She asserted, "We women aspire to a real role, especially in the political, economic, and military sectors, in order to build a free, decentralized Syria."
