In Syria it is 11.11.11 side by side with Syrian partner organizations to expose human rights violations, strengthen the impact of organizations and create sustainable solutions for people on the run.

Human rights and democracy

Together with our partner organisations, we bring human rights violations to light. We conduct research into the conditions for safe return of people on the run and strengthen the effectiveness of local organisations.

Policy

In the period 2022-2023, we supported partner organisations in writing research reports on the return of Syrian refugees. We used the results to influence European policy on Syria.

International solidarity

We support partner organisations’ emergency response interventions in northern Syria. In 2020, we helped set up a COVID response project and supported vocational training in war-torn Raqqa. In early 2023, we supported earthquake victims.

Through our partnership with 11.11.11 Women Now can increase the power of women. We do this by offering them support and growth opportunities. Together we make a difference and create a world in which every woman, especially every woman in Syria, can reach her full potential.

What have we already achieved, together with many others?

During the annual Syria pledging conference in Brussels (May 2024), the EU, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany and the United States reaffirm that Syria remains unsafe for return, despite increasing pressure to designate parts of Syria as a “safe zone”. Belgium also announces during the conference that it will release 2024 million euros in support for the Syria region in 28.5.

The European Parliament will adopt a resolution in February 2024 reaffirming that Syria is not safe for return, and that neighbouring countries must stop forcibly deporting Syrian refugees to Syria. The resolution also calls on the European Commission to take additional measures to involve local organisations more closely in policy, and to take action against the rapidly escalating water crisis in northern Syria.

In June 2023, Minister of Development Cooperation Gennez announced that an additional ten million euros would be made available for the post-earthquake response in northern Syria.
