The Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) congratulates the Syrian mothers everywhere on the occasion of Mother’s Day as it highly commends the achievements and efforts Syrian mothers have been making over the past eleven years of the Syrian revolution.
Since the start of the Syrian Revolution, Syrian mothers have suffered the criminality of the Assad regime, which detained thousands of them and their loved ones. They bear heavy burdens and fight harsh conditions in the struggle against the hardships of life that the Assad regime turned into misery.
The grief of hundreds of thousands of Syrian mothers is compound by the bitterness of forced displacement and living in camps after the Assad regime occupied their cities and towns because they refused to live in the areas it controls.
Syrian mothers continue to carry out their familial and social duties, withstanding enormous hardships, and contributing to preserving the Syrian family and social fabric.
Throughout this great revolution, Syrian mothers set a shining example for giving in various fields and in the harshest circumstances. They work as paramedics, doctors, writers, activists, demonstrators, fighters and the leaders in political action, detainees, fallen heroes, and mother of fallen heroes.
We salute Syrian mothers whose steadfastness inspires hope for building a new, free Syria in which there is no place for the murderous Assad regime and its symbols.
