Universal Periodic Review Report On the Syrian Arab Republic

Submission to the 40th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Universal Period Review Working Group

This report is mainly addressed at the Syrian government and challenges its ability to guarantee the economic security of women in Syria including areas of active conflict. This report will focus on the economic situation of women in Syria but also those who are internally displaced and living across borders, affected by gender-based economic violence. Our analysis is based on official statements as well as statements from international and national organisations and on interviews conducted by SWPM as part of its research and publishing activities. How can peace be achieved, and Syria rebuilt unless women live in dignity and enjoy full civil, political, social and economic rights?
