- Description
- 'This report provides a timely and compelling analysis of the impact of the Syrian regional conflict on women and girls. It sheds light on the condition of women and girls inside Syria and those who have fled the conflict for safety in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. Many have been subject to sexual and gender-based violence, coerced into early marriages, overwhelmed by economic strife, and psychologically scarred by loss in a war that seemingly has no end. Women and girls affected by conflict must be regarded as more than victims of brutality: they are agents of change who, if given the opportunity, can transform their societies.'
