"Most of the Men Want to Leave:" Armed Groups, Displacement and the Gendered Webs of Vulnerability in Syria

  • Lana Khattab, Henri Myrttinen

Summary

This report examines the gendered vulnerabilities and realities faced by Syrians in this time of war and displacement, and what these may mean for future peacebuilding. As the Syrian war enters its seventh year, we explore some of the main gendered impacts of the violent conflict – for those who remain in the country and those displaced. We also examine the gendered dynamics of recruitment into armed groups as well as engagement in these groups more broadly.
