Support for Syria's Women and Girls

  • Submitted by: Michelle Thomson, Falkirk East, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 19 December 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-15931

That the Parliament recognises and shares what it sees as the hopes of the Syrian people for the future; welcomes the fall of what it considers to have been the brutal Bashar al-Assad regime; understands that millions of civilians were displaced or killed during the rule of Assad, and that death and torture, including of women and children, were commonplace; notes reports that the rebel forces overthrowing the regime were led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and involved a wide range of other groups, some of which, it believes, cause continuing concern regarding their commitment to international humanitarian law, and believes that the building of a new Syria must protect the rights of women and girls as part of the provision of humanitarian assistance.
