Over the past thirteen years of conflict, Syrian women's lives were characterized by hardship, displacement, loss, and pain. Amidst the devastation, these remarkably resourceful women defied the odds, setting magnificent examples for the next generation of girls and women in their country, paving the way in front of the dreamers and letting everyone know that with hope, anything is possible, and from challenges, opportunities are born.

In celebration of International Women's Day 2024, the ICRC profiled four Syrian women who have managed to forge successful enterprises in challenging environment, often while juggling the needs of their families.
Supported by the ICRC, these profiles celebrate the audacity of hope and determination to thrive and be a source of inspiration.
