Hundreds protest at Turkish border against Syrian womens’ plight
Women of varied ethnicities and religions gather at the Turkey-Syria border on International Women’s Day 2018 to raise awareness of the crimes committed against women in Syria’s prisons.
Hundreds of women are gathering at Turkey’s border with Syria to draw attention to the plight of Syrian women after years of civil war. Organisers of the protest say more than 6,000 women are currently being held in prisons in Syria and some are being subjected to torture and rape.
