Advocate for Kurdish civilians and women’s rights in Syria

Although a ceasefire was announced in January, Kurdish civilians in northeast Syria continue to face insecurity and displacement, with humanitarian reporting showing urgent needs for food, shelter and medical care. Women and girls are especially vulnerable to violence, exploitation and exclusion when conflict disrupts legal protections and essential services. In our view, the UK has obligations under international humanitarian law and the Women, Peace and Security agenda to protect civilians and women in conflict.
