Syria President Appoints Final 70 Lawmakers to New Parliament

A new slate of fifteen women has been appointed to key positions, a move that follows the selection of only six female candidates by regional electoral colleges last October. The appointments come as part of a broader effort to increase gender representation across the organization’s leadership ranks.

The fifteen appointees will assume roles ranging from senior advisory positions to executive leadership, filling vacancies that had previously been held by men. The decision was announced by the governing board, which cited the need to reflect the diversity of the organization’s membership and to address long‑standing gender imbalances highlighted in the October elections.

With the appointments now in place, the organization expects to see a measurable shift in its governance structure. The board noted that the new women leaders will bring fresh perspectives and expertise, reinforcing the commitment to inclusive decision‑making and setting a precedent for future appointments.
