To the Inmates of Assads prisons<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cInternational Conscience Convoy<\/a>\u201d, a wandering demonstration of 2000 women from 55 countries started in Istanbul and has reached its destination, Hatay at the Turkish- syrian border today. The Convoy aims to raise awareness for the violation of human rights against Syrian women \u2013 the main victims of the longstanding conflict. How many women are currently imprisoned in Syria? No one can tell exactly. The organizers of the Convoy estimate that there are about 6700 female inmates \u2013 over 400 of them girls. Assads regime denies that there\u2019s regular torture and rape. UN reports tell us differently: about inhuman detention conditions, systematic torture and sexual violence.<\/p>\n

To the women in Refugee Camps<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of February, a UNFPA report was published in which was stated that women in south-syrian camps were sexually exploited by humanitarian workers in return for aid. Sex in exchange for food or soap \u2013 that\u2019s as repugnant as it gets. \u201cAid workers told the BBC that the exploitation is so widespread that some Syrian women are refusing to go to distribution centres because people would assume they had offered their bodies for the aid they brought home.\u201d (source: BBC<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Single girls and women in UN Refugee Camps in a war-torn country – This exploitation of the weakest of the weak is inexcusable in our opinion. The matter has been ignored for far too long. And it\u2019ll take a long time to resolve the situation. Read more in the following pdf: \u201eWhole of Syria \u2013 Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility.<\/a><\/p>\n

To the free women of Rojava<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Kurdish-controlled Northern Syria, women and men have equal rights (see f.e. nytimes article from 24.2.2018<\/a>). Most government boards and committees have a 50% women\u2019s quota. Women are allowed to get a divorce and to keep the children and the house after a separation. They are allowed to inherit property.<\/p>\n

We want peace and a free and self-determined life for all women of Syria!<\/strong><\/p>\n
