The Syrian government is keen on adopting strategic national plans and procedures to strengthen and boost Syrian women’s participation in the country’s development process.

Rural women empowerment has been one of the top priorities of the development program of the Syrian government. This was crystallized in the government’s commitment to consolidating rural woman’s role as key partners in all aspects of life.

Shedding light on the situation of rural woman in Lattakia province, Syriatimes e-newspaper visited the Permanent Marketing Center of rural woman’s products, which was opened in 2017 with the aim of supporting and introducing the products of the rural women.

Homs, (ST)-In cooperation with the Directorate of Labor and Social Affairs, a group of distinguished women held an exhibition and bazaar of "Creative Young Women".

The two-day exhibition featured beautiful and distinctive pieces of art and handmade products produced by creative women representing the governorates of Homs, Hama and Damascus countryside.

From the first encounter with this inspirational woman I perceived a woman of high sensibility and creativity enjoying multiple skills since she is a plastic artist, a film maker and an interior designer, all that in the name of Sana Atassi, a talented Syrian artist who has held a solo exhibition at Damascus Opera house, including about 20 paintings depicting the female spirit as a divine soul, a source of inspiration and fertility. 

However, without a title an exhibition might seem loosely wrapped; yet Atassi had a totally different point of view “I deliberately chose to keep my exhibition without a title to keep all possibilities open enlarging the audience's perspective to the highest levels.’ She enthusiastically exclaimed. 

What was fascinating about that novelist when I meet her in her comfort zone -her home- that despite all the appearances of a typical Syrian home and family, and most importantly a typical Syrian woman, Amal Abo Saad is far from that description. The Syrian novelist and Arabic teacher, Amal Abo Saad, through her novel “There is no Time but for Love” take us to the world of love at a time of war through her protagonist “Leila”. However I do not deny my eagerness as I was running above the lines of the novel, and like any Syrian woman, craving to know whether love will succeed!

Damascus, (ST) - With her female painting brush, in which she rebelled against reality and the spontaneously of her ideas, the plastic artist, Lynn Batal embodied her works in the art work space. Her paintings are a mixture of boldness and modernity at the level of both color and idea.

The exhibition, which opened in the artist's gallery, Fatih al-Mudares for Fine Art embodied a different experience in the field of women’s plastic art at the level of the style in which Batal returned to the primacy of the idea and color.

Batal told SANA that her use of a rudimentary style came in different colors considering that the paintings included in her gallery give impressions of the man's relationship with the female and the person's relationship with himself through using acrylic and inks.
