I think that having an official feminist political body like the Movement, in itself, is a step in the way of equitable political representation of Syrian women.
I dream of an institution-based country which respects all citizens, a country ruled only by law.
Despite being far away from the people protesting on the streets of Syria, I felt empowered by them.
I want to salute all Syrians, especially the women working anywhere and everywhere to contribute to the peace process.
