The Syrian Sect: A National Initiative to Promote Civil Peace and Social Cohesion

The Syrian Sect: A National Initiative to Promote Civil Peace and Social Cohesion As part of civil society organizations' efforts to support stability, a group of national organizations launched the "Syrian Sect" convoy from the city of Aleppo to several regions in Syria, notably Jaramana and Saqba in Eastern Ghouta, with the aim of promoting civil peace and national unity. The initiative involved dignitaries and activists from various governorates (Aleppo, Homs, Salmiyah, Damascus), where open community meetings were held, focusing on the importance of social cohesion, the need to confront hate speech, and the right of all to equal citizenship. The visit culminated in the signing of the *Community Principles Charter* in Jaramana, which consists of 14 articles emphasizing Syria's unity, both in land and people. The charter upholds the principles of justice, respect for diversity, and support for state institutions to achieve stability. Participants stressed the importance of students returning to their universities and standing by returnees in their regions to support recovery and reintegration efforts. The initiative is implemented by: Stabilization Support Unit (SSU), Civil Center, Women's Empowerment and Support Unit, Al-Risala Foundation, Kafa, Bond Network, Al-Istiqama Organization, Souriaty, Ather, and the Syrian Women's Association.
