The Syrian Women´s Rights Civil Society Conference follows up on the last EU conference “Supporting the Future of Syria and the Region” (Brussels V), that took place on 29-30 March 2021 and made emphasis on the role of civil society organisations, in particular with regards to economic development, sustainable livelihoods, humanitarian aid, justice and peace, and underlined the importance of “Syrian women’s full and meaningful participation at all stages of the political process at a minimum of 30 per cent representation in decision-making structures”, including women-led organisations.
