|
Yahya Al Aous- Al-Thara
3-7-2010 Fifteen years have passed since the Beijing Conference, the last international conference concerning women. This period has seen international concern for women and their status through a continuance of interest, marked by decline. The ability of international organizations dependant on the UN for support in implementing international agreements was very weak at the national level, where it lacks funding. |

Will the controversy of veil move to moderate Syria
|
Mays Al-Kraidy
26.2.2010 The rumors in the recent past, regarding the subject of shifting veiled women from the ministry of Education to an administrative posts, the release which has been issued by one of human rights organizations, and the debate which followed, can be considered as an indication of a presence of formal complication of religiosity, racing to be projected in form, ignoring its signification which we couldn’t vaticinate, in absence of direct friction to some extent. |

VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN
|
Dr. Haitham Sharba INTRODUCTION All human misery could be blamed on the way that people were punished as children (Shilling, 2001: p8). There is some evidence that societies around the world can be distinguished from one another on the basis of the number of different types of violence that occur in them (Levinson, 1989:16). Children are society’s mirrors and reflections of the future. They are the future’s hope so that the care of children should be the main interest in family life, and society in general. Society spends much effort to support this care. |

Initiatives to Reinforce Backwardness:
|
a women- only mall in Aleppo and taxis just for women in Damascus
Fattah Issa
Translated by:Charlotte Fryer
12/06/2010 People are baffled when they hear about these "moral" initiatives. Despite the fact that initiatives are usually a means to realize progress and development, our initiatives on the other hand, are more aptly described as backward. Society is regressing and segregation of the sexes increases cultural regression. Essentially, segregation occurs from birth onwards, with separate bedrooms for males and females, segregation in schools and on the streets and it is not possible for a woman to go out or to socialize. |

Mays Al Krydi-Al Thara
29-5-2010 The neighbors were chatting and the words, “he violated her…” or “she violated him…” appeared; “he did it to her” or “she did it to him…” When we were young when it happened, playing in the silence of those looking for knowledge.

At the time,we didn’t understand the meaning of that word—rape--but we hadcome across the word in our National Education textbooks, used to describe land—“our violated land.” So I understood that rape meant something ugly, dirty to the fullest extent. |
