We signed onto a statement dated 11 April following the urgent call of women in Daraya for food drops. Given the unrelenting siege that is affecting them and other areas within Syria, we are again calling upon the UK Government to conduct air drops of food and medical supplies on besieged areas.
Thank you to the Polish community for inviting us to their international women's day event on 13 March organised by the Open Culture Project, which we attended with the Jasmine of Peace Syria campaign run by Syrian women.
We attended 'Raising Our Voices', an event celebrating women, on 12 March. There were lots of activities on the day including a woman's choir and a fashion show in which we contributed Syrian women's dress.
Syrian women enjoyed a social evening in the office on 11 March. The office will be open on Thursday evenings from 6-10 pm for women and we are open for all women to join.
We attended the 'Celebration of Muslim Women's Achievements' on Saturday 5 March which proved to be a lovely evening. This event highlighted some of the many achievements of a diverse group of Muslim women. Syrian women also contributed to this event by highlighting the struggles and the successes of Syrian women despite five years of conflict.
