The Debilitating Effect of Conflict on the Female Gender: The Syrian Conflict in Focus

Abstract

In times of war, members of the same society face very different challenges. The impact of war on someone will vary according to factors such as age, social class, and gender. What appears to have taken centre stage in the discussion of the Syrian conflict is the impact of the conflict on children and the dangers threatening their everyday lives. Children however are not the only vulnerable members of society at war. Syrian women also face extremely adverse conditions. This paper sets out to analytically x-ray the plight of women in conflict situations with particular reference to the Syrian crisis. It finds amongst other things that women are indeed the most vulnerable in war times and it recommends amongst other things that strive for the protection of the vulnerable in war times and conflict prone zones is a quest that must be sought.
