This statement was made to the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) 43rd session, during the Interactive dialogue (ID) with the Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic. The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) welcomes the gender analysis and the sex-disaggregated data incorporated throughout the Commission’s report (A/HRC/43/57). We particularly commend the Commission’s approach in shedding light on how factors, such as age, disabilities, religious and ethnic backgrounds, have amplified the disproportionate impact of the conflict on women.
