Thursday, October 29, 2026, marks the “International Day of Care and Support”\u2014a United Nations observance established by the UN General Assembly (via resolution A\/RES\/77\/317) to recognize the importance of building resilient and inclusive care and support systems. It also emphasizes the rights of workers in this sector, which is vital to the sustainability of societies and their economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guided by its core principles, the Syrian Future Movement views this occasion as a fundamental opportunity to redefine the “concept of care” within the Syrian political landscape. Care is an inherent human right, as well as a legal and moral obligation incumbent upon both the state and society; it serves as the backbone for any genuine democratic transition aimed at rebuilding the individual in the aftermath of crises and wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this day, the vision of the Syrian Future Movement takes shape as a cohesive framework for action. Its civic and political dimensions necessitate the establishment of legislative and institutional structures that ensure the equitable distribution of resources and the provision of social safety nets. Meanwhile, its humanitarian and civilizational aspects reflect a commitment to upholding the dignity of the most vulnerable groups and fostering a greater sense of social solidarity\u2014a hallmark of true civilization and civic maturity\u2014within Syrian society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement observes that the long years of conflict in Syria have created a highly complex humanitarian and social reality, resulting in the near-total destruction of formal care systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indicators and statistics from reports by international organizations and independent monitoring centers for 2026 reveal alarming figures that underscore the profound depth of the crisis. More than 2.5 million Syrians suffer from permanent disabilities or war-related injuries, requiring ongoing care and rehabilitation programs. Meanwhile, economists estimate that Syrian women shoulder over 85% of the burden of unpaid care work and domestic labor\u2014a situation exacerbated by the absence of state developmental institutions. Compounding this, more than 90% of Syrian families now live below the poverty line, effectively stripping the concept of “social security” of any meaningful substance and depriving millions of children, orphans, and the elderly of even the most basic humanitarian support and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
