    • Keywords:
    • Middle East and North Africa
    • Syria
    • conflict
    • gender
    • war

The struggles endured by men who remain inside Syria and the obstacles faced by others who choose to remove themselves from the fighting by fleeing the country demonstrate a need to redefine classic conceptions of vulnerability and to consider civilian men and their needs as part of a solution rather than a problem.
