The Syrian Opposition Coalition (SOC) extends its congratulations to Syrian mothers on the occasion of Mother’s Day and expresses pride in their role. They have demonstrated resilience in the face of injustice and have raised their voices against the brutal practices of the Assad regime inflicted upon the Syrian people. They have become symbols of steadfastness, sacrifice, and determination, despite the horrors of war and the successive crises it has spawned.
Syrian mothers have been essential partners in the Syrian Revolution, contributing positively to various aspects of life. Whether as detainees, fallen heroes, displaced individuals, or bereaved, they have been victims of the Assad regime’s crimes. Nevertheless, they have persevered, fulfilling their dual role in nurturing Syria’s future generation.
The SOC emphasizes that mothers are fundamental pillars of the future Syria for which Syrians are striving. Despite the harsh conditions imposed by the Assad regime over the past 13 years, mothers continue to give selflessly in various aspects of life.
The SOC advocates for the rights of Syrian mothers to lead dignified, free, and secure lives, with access to basic services and guarantees of women’s rights. It emphasizes the importance of protection from violence and discrimination and supports their empowerment in social, political, economic, and cultural spheres. The SOC stands in full support of Syrian mothers, wishing them continued success and achievements.
