By Yahya AlAous- Al Thara
Translated by Anna Jozwik
5-1-2013
It iscommon to find children under ten-years-old or elderly men over eighty participating in demonstrations;however,for a man in a wheelchair to join a demonstration is both courageous and risky, especially in a country where the only form of defense is a pair of legs to search for a safe haven, escaping a shower of bullets, or teargas if the security forces are feeling merciful. |

|
Mays al-Krady- Al Thara
Translated by Michael Walker
7-5-2011
Civil society represents the highest form harmonious with the practice of democracy and paves the way for transition to the civil-societal formula that is a guarantor of the people's right to effective participation in political authority and decision-making. Civil society forms a participatory condition with the State where realistically the masses become effective, participatory, and active through modern representative bodies in this societal formula. |

Despite laws and campaign our streets are still filthy
|
Rouba Al- hamoud
Translated by: Translated by: Anna Jozwik
14-5-2011
We echo slogans yet we fail to teach our children their true meaning. In other words, we don't practice what we preach. My house, your house, and our friends' houses---all very neat and clean---yet this concept does not extend beyond our front door. As soon as we step over the threshold, we encounter all kinds of rubbish and pollution. In other words, we neglect the cleanliness of our street, neighborhood, or city, i.e. our shared home. |

By Mehy Aldeen isso
Translated by: Michael A. Walker Jr
Al Thara- 12-2-2011
The young woman who was walking through Souq Al-Hamadiyah in the heart of Damascus wasn't the only one wearing a shirt with "I am against honor crimes" written on it. She was trying to send a message to society that these crimes are a disgrace and a black stain added to our shameful record of marginalizing the role of women in society, especially murders for the sake of honor which have increased in Syria in recent years, victimizing dozens of Syrian women. |
