النساء السوريات في مسار العدالة الانتقالية | Syrian Women in Transitional Justice

بعد عقود من الاستبداد والعنف، لا يمكن أن تكون العدالة في سوريا شكلية أو متسرّعة. يركّز هذا البحث على أصوات النساء السوريات من خلفيات ومناطق مختلفة وهنّ من حافظن على تماسك المجتمعات رغم الحرب والنزوح والخسارة. تقدّم النساء السوريات رؤى واضحة ومتجذّرة محليًا لإعادة بناء الثقة ومنع تجدّد العنف. العدالة الشاملة والتشاركية التي تضع النساء في موقع الشريكات والقيادات هي الأساس للمساءلة الموثوقة، والسلام المستدام، والاستثمار الفعّال في تعافي سوريا.

After decades of authoritarian rule and mass violence, justice in Syria cannot be symbolic or rushed. Our research centers the voices too often pushed to the margins: Syrian women from diverse regions and lived realities, the very people who carried communities through war, displacement, and loss. Syrian women offer clear, locally grounded visions for rebuilding trust, reforming institutions, and preventing renewed violence. Inclusive, participatory justice that centers women as partners and leaders is not optional. It is the foundation for credible accountability, sustainable peace, and meaningful investment in Syria’s recovery.
