Unfortunately, women's participation is very low. We need to push for more Syrian women to get involved in politics. We need to pressure the government to ensure that women have a seat at the table. We need women of diverse backgrounds to ensure political and ethnic diversity. I think women's participation is a priority for Syria now.
We know that women aren't participating much. They're isolated. Canada has experience and is in a position to talk to the government and other partners. We have to make sure that women are active and have a seat at the political table so they can participate in the constitution, in parliament and everywhere.
Six women won parliamentary elections. We're still waiting for the president's third list to find out what the percentage of women in Parliament will be.
