DAMASCUS, (ST)-Damascus Platform for Syrian-Syrian Dialogue on Sunday held a women forum on Syrian women’s rights at the Dama Rose hotel in Damascus. Some 400 women from different cultural and social categories from all Syrian provinces took part in the event which was also attended by official and civil society figures.

Discussions focused on women’s rights, the legal situation of women and suggestions to enhance women’s role in law making, in drawing up economic development plans for the post-crisis era and in activating home economics due to its importance in supporting national economy.

Concluding the forum, participants issued a statement affirming the need to give priority to the process of reconstruction with national capital, to the government projects and to supporting businesswomen projects by creating a general environment that helps women exhibit and market their small-sized enterprises’ products.

 The statement also urged supporting women’s work through establishing support funds plus non-profit loans and dedicating 50% of the loans and funding to the women-run projects.

Women national reconciliation committees        

The participants recommended in their statement reconsidering education curricula as to enhance Syrian women’s role, forming women national reconciliation committees, allowing women to join political talks and establishing a ministry for women affairs and another one for martyrs and war victims’ affairs.

They asserted that “Syria is a unified secular state based on the principle of equal citizenship for all the Syrians without discrimination on ethnic, religious or gender basis.

The participants also urged women representation in all state institutions as well as in the legislative, executive and judicial authorities and all decision-making positions.

They underlined the importance of media support for women’s new and leading role in society, a new role that emerged within the current circumstances and challenges in the country.
