The Ironic Sense of Syria’s War: A Feminist Lens on This Humanitarian Tragedy

Abstract

The Syrian civil war has been one of the most devastating conflicts of our time, leaving in its wake a trail of destruction, displacement and loss, as well as a breakdown of basic services. It has turned the country into a stage where tragic events and actions are taking place. As the conflict unfolded, it became apparent that women and children were disproportionately affected, facing unique challenges and vulnerabilities amidst the chaos. This critical reflection aims to explore the intersection of feminism and the Syrian war, shedding light on the experiences of women and children and examining the broader implications of this crisis.
