Support for Syria's Women and Girls

Lodged by Michelle Thomson Standard Motion 27 supporters

The motion

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.
