Second : The Arrested Mothers
Among 19400 detained person in Syrain , Alassad troops arrested or abducted at least 6405 women, including 430 mothers 200 of them enforced disappearance
According to the standard of enforced disappearances ” Enforced disappearance takes place when a person is arrested, detained, abducted or otherwise deprived of their liberty by government officials or by organized groups or private individuals whose actions are condoned by the government in some way.
This is applied to nearly 200 mothers most of them were abducted by gangs working for Alassad troops known as “Shabiha”. Most of the abducted women are from Homs, Lattakia and Damascus countryside.
Arrested women treated with no regard of human nature or humanity. They are systematically and violently tortured , many of them also have been raped by Alassad troops in prisons although officials gave rape orders in particular for beautiful girls ( according to a testimony of dissident solider )
Syrian Lady called Salma 28 years old – mother of four children ( three girls and one boy ) admitted with tragedy of being raped by Alassad troops in Sahl Alroj and Korine towns
Salma said that 36 ladies was raped when Alassad troops broke down those towns , she was crying bitterly .
As a prove of that SNHR documented 20 cases of women ( including 7 mothers ) killed under severe and systematic torture suffered in conditions that violate human rights and all the international laws in this regard
In this regard Following link : lists of all documented women tortured to death with their details as displayed in link :

Ladies in security branches had the worst times of detention , they exposed to tough treatments especially in the first days through investigations , it may takes week or even two months , if they are lucky they will be transferred to a prison where jailers continued intended policies to humiliate and violate their human dignity , prevented them from medical treatment , right of visiting , getting clothes , books , letters , newspapers and other basics rights
We should mention that there are only males in security branches ( detectives – guardians – nurses and prisoners ) they are all males
– In the ninth of February 2013, Mother Wafaa Alakla – 35 years old – arrested at Alassad army checkpoint with her three children (the older one is 14 years old ) and even the taxi driver who was carrying them , her husband was also arrested for a month and half and was released after investigating that he has no activity . He disappeared for a while and no one knows about him or Ms. Wafaa and her three kids anything at all making her family don’t know what to do .
– Alassad troops also arrested many ladies of society , Teachers , Old women and young girls , Now high class ladies and rural girls sharing the same penalties cause they decided to take a side against the Syrian government .
– – Mother Hanadi Faisal Alrifai – Daraa –arrested in 16-3-2012 ,for more that 7 months suffered within the cruelest ways of tortures physically and psychologically , in one charge only is to help one solider to get his mother , She tells stories about the suffering of girls who met them in prisons

- SNHR documented more than 35.000 married has been killed , leaving their wives widows
- Enforced disappearance : almost 19.000 thousand married men among more than 60 thousand individuals are enforced disappearance , that led to 19000 women don’t know whether they are married or widows , is her husband a life or Alassad troops executed him , which make us back into time to 1982 in Hama , where at least 12000 married men disappeared and the city suffered for decades of this situation
Fourth : Refugee , half million women refugees in neighboring countries including 350.000 mother
SNHR estimates that’s more than 70% of the refugee are women and children , the main reason for leaving Syria is fear of rape and violation
