One year after the fall of Assad’s regime, Zeina Kanawati, our Senior Communications Officer, spoke with the BBC Newshour about what Syria looks like today.
After a decade in exile for her activism and advocacy for Syrian women’s rights, Zeina had already returned to visit her home country — and what she found was heartbreaking: shattered infrastructure, ongoing insecurity, and a future filled with uncertainty for women.
In her BBC conversation, she reflects on the complexity of going back and the reality Syrians are still navigating.
