The Joint Activities Platform for Women's Movements in northeastern Syria has launched a comprehensive solidarity campaign supporting women in the Syrian coastal region. The platform expressed condemnation of violations targeting civilians and affirmed its commitment to unifying Syrian women's efforts in addressing the crisis aftermath.
The platform announced this initiative through a statement delivered by Amina Omar, a member of the Women's Coordination in northeastern Syria, at the March 12 Stadium in Qamishli. Representatives from political parties, the Democratic Autonomous Administration of Jazira Region, and the Syrian Democratic Council attended the event.
The statement highlighted Syria's transformation into "an open arena for regional and international conflicts," noting that "the Syrian people have paid the highest price in blood, displacement, and economic and social collapse."
The platform added: "The dream was that overthrowing the authoritarian regime would begin a new phase restoring Syrians' rights and achieving their aspirations to build a homeland that respects its diversity and ensures freedom and justice for all its components. However, what we witness today is the reproduction of exclusion and marginalization dominance, especially against women and other components."
The platform emphasized that "the collective massacres with an ethnic dimension witnessed in the Syrian coast represent war crimes that cannot be ignored," describing these crimes as "a direct result of the current regime's policies, which allowed mercenary groups, led by Abu Amsha and Abu Hatem al-Shaqra, to commit the most heinous violations against unarmed civilians."
The platform stressed its rejection of women being "merely tools used to promote masculine political discourse," affirming it will not allow "our role in building the new Syria to be marginalized. Rather, we will continue defending our rights and struggling for a homeland that recognizes our values, honors our sacrifices, and guarantees our full role in shaping its future."
The campaign launched under the slogan "Syrian Women's Solidarity is Essential to Stop Massacres Against Women in the Coast" includes various activities: collecting donations to support affected women, gathering signatures to convey women's voices to relevant international bodies, and sending messages to international institutions demanding an end to violations.
The campaign also includes organizing protests and women's marches, a theatrical performance depicting women's suffering in the coastal region, a poetry evening highlighting civilian suffering, and a dialogue forum for women in northeastern Syria to discuss their position on the massacres and the interim constitutional declaration.
The platform concluded its statement by calling on all Syrian women to stand in solidarity with women in the Syrian coastal region and join the campaign to unify efforts toward building a Syria based on justice, equality, and human rights.
This initiative represents an important step toward enhancing communication and cooperation between different Syrian regions and reflects the growing role of women's movements in advancing comprehensive Syrian national dialogue and demanding a political system that guarantees the rights of all components.
