بيان: حرية المجتمع من حرية النساء

Statement

Society’s freedom is women’s freedom

Numerous statements made by leaders in the military operations management raise widespread condemnation among Syrian feminist movements, civil society organizations, democratic and leftist forces in Syria, the region and the world, and reinforce their fears about the seriousness of the democratic transition process, as these statements reflect the intention of some to absent the prominent and necessary role of Syrian women in participating in the public space and in all aspects of political action and in building a democratic Syria for all its sons and daughters, in any position:

We emphasize that the issue of women’s rights is not just a basic rights issue, but a political issue that determines the nature of governance, and it is no secret to anyone that working for women’s rights is working for the realization of democracy, freedom and equality.

We call on all living Syrian forces, including civil society organizations, political parties and political groups, to emphasize the guarantee of women’s rights and their active participation in the future Syria, in accordance with the following parameters:

Syria is an independent state with a democratic system and sovereignty over all its territories that fosters political and partisan pluralism and the circulation of power.
Preparing a draft constitution for the country that guarantees public and individual freedoms and guarantees all the rights of full and equal citizenship, ensuring full gender equality and based on the International Bill of Human Rights and its supremacy over national laws.
Ensure women’s participation in all aspects of the political process, and in all current or transitional institutions by a percentage of not less than thirty percent, up to parity, as a tool to solidify women’s representation.
Criminalize violence and discrimination against women and repeal all discriminatory laws against them.
Release public freedoms, guarantee freedom of opinion and expression, and combat hate speech and discrimination.
Issue a new law that guarantees the freedom of formation and operation of civil society organizations, including organizations that defend women’s rights.
Ensure full equality in wages between men and women and link those wages to the price rate
Ensuring that women are not excluded requires unifying the feminist agenda in demanding the active participation of women by women’s groups.
