Marking the 25th anniversary of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda, this issue highlights UNDP’s continued commitment to advancing women’s rights and strengthening their leadership and meaningful participation in peacebuilding and recovery efforts in Syria.

In this edition, we showcase the stories of Syrian women who are contributing to social cohesion, economic empowerment, and community resilience despite years of crisis. The newsletter underscores that sustainable peace and security are inseparable from gender equality, access to justice, expanded economic opportunities, and inclusive participation in decision-making.

By supporting women as agents of change, UNDP works with its partners to translate the WPS Agenda into concrete actions that advance stability, dignity, and sustainable recovery across Syria.
