New article by CMES researcher Kholoud Mansour: This article aims at addressing the representation of the Syrian women in the media, the different barriers to their political participation and the politics of representation.

The article uses contemporary empirical evidence to explore this subject, delving deeper into two experiences, the Women’s Advisory Board (WAB) to the UN Special Envoy and Women’s Advisory Committee (WAC) of the High Negotiations Committee and the international support to Syrian women in the negotiations and peace process.

Further, the article aims at instigating further in-depth discussions and work on this crucial, salient and understudied topic.
