During September, our weekly vigil was held jointly with the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), and Syrian, against the background of the armed assault on Idlib, called for support for Syrian women, and for a new and meaningful peace initiative, including and recognising the needs of Syrian women, including as refugees.
We also drew attention to the 82,000 people who have been disappeared by governments forces and their allies, 13,000 of whom have died in detention. While significant numbers of women have been disappeared,thousands more women have been left without their husbands and sons, with massive impact on their lives.
