Fifteen years ago today, widespread pro-democracy protests erupted across Syria, with Syrians demanding dignity, human rights, and a future free from repression.
From violent government crackdowns on citizens, to at least 580,000 people killed in the conflict that ensued, 150,000 forcibly disappeared, and millions more displaced, to the ultimate fall of the Assad regime, Syrians are marking the anniversary of the Syrian Uprising and sharing the realities on the ground.
Advocates reflect on the moment Syria is living through now—from the long pursuit of justice for victims, to the resilience of women leading their communities, to the ongoing struggle against poverty, displacement, and political marginalization.
The conflict currently engulfing the entire region is causing further insecurity and uncertainty for millions of people.
But civil society remains a source of hope, working toward justice, accountability, and recovery. That means addressing the deep socioeconomic wounds of the conflict—pushing for inclusive rebuilding that centers affected communities, expands access to opportunity, and ensures that Syrians across the country can claim their place in shaping its future. Though the situation in the region is fragile, the resilience of advocates remains strong.
