Information regarding the continued commission of serious human rights violations against Alawite women and girls in the coastal areas of the Syrian Arab Republic since February 2025 until the present. These violations reportedly include a pattern of targeted abductions, enforced disappearances, and other forms of gender-based violence, affecting women and girls, allegedly on the basis of their Alawite religious identity. Among the multiple cases brought to our attention, we would particularly like to highlight the situation of a number of victims that have been reported to the Ministry of Interior of the Provisional Government of the Arab Republic of Syria and have been registered as cases Nos. 206, 73, 330, and 400, in which women and girls were reportedly kidnapped or forcibly disappeared, with no meaningful investigative steps or protective measures reportedly taken by the transitional government to initiate accountability or prevent further such violations.
