<<'Action should be taken against policies aiming at demographic change'
Şehinaz Omar and Zekiye Mihemed, two displaced women of Afrin living in the Berxwedan camp in Shahba, call on human rights organizations to take action against Turkish policies aiming at changing the demographic structure in Afrin.
Shahba- The Turkish state and Turkish-backed factions have been carrying out policies aiming at changing the demographic structure of Afrin since they began to occupy Afrin Canton on March 18, 2018. They have settled families and members of factions, who are not from Afrin. The Turkish state has built more than 42 buildings in Afrin with the support of 48 associations from Kuwait, Qatar and Palestine since March 2018, according to a report of the Afrin-Syria Human Rights Organization.
'They changed the names of villages and streets'
In an interview with NuJINHA, Şehinaz Omar and Zekiye Mihemed, two displaced women of Afrin living in the Berxwedan camp in Shahba, reacted to the occupation policies of the Turkish state. <The occupying Turkish state has carried out policies aiming at killing civilians and changing the demographic structure in Afrin,> said Şehinaz Omar. <The names of Afrin's historical villages and streets are being changed and replaced with Turkish names. Nature and the mountains of Afrin are burned and destroyed.>
'People are forced to learn Turkish'
Afrin was known for its nature but it has now been turned into a desert, Şehinaz Omar emphasized, adding, <It is obvious that the Turkish state has been carrying out a policy to destroy the history of Afrin. Afrin is a part of Syria; however, the Kurds and Syrians are forced to learn Turkish because the Turkish state wants to erase their identity. I call on all international organizations to unite and fulfill their responsibilities against this situation.> Zekiye Mihemed also thinks that the Turkish state aims to destroy the identity and existence of people from different nations in Afrin. <Since Shahba is a small area, we live in the camp. This camp was built for the displaced people of Afrin until they return to their homeland. The Turkish state has built buildings and camps in Afrin and settled foreign families there in order to increase the Arab and Turkish population. It aims to change the demographic structure in Afrin.> Women in Afrin are forced to wear black and long clothes to destroy their culture, Zekiye Mihemed said. <Century-old fruit trees in Afrin are also cut down and burned by Erdogan and his factions.> >>

<<Displaced women in Sudan living under inhumane conditions
Internally displaced women in Sudan struggle to survive from the shadow of the ongoing war in Sudan and inhumane conditions in shelters.
Sudan- Hundreds of internally displaced women, who fled their homes to save their children and provide a better life for them, struggle to survive in shelters in Sudan. More than 10 million people in Sudan have fled their homes as war that erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan on April 15, 2023 continues and 80 per cent of those internally displaced are women and girls, according to the international reports.
She got kicked out for complaining
A.M., one of the internally displaced women living in shelters, got kicked out of a shelter for complaining about the inhumane conditions. <I have no place to stay now because the officers kicked me and my five children out of the shelter.>
The situations of pregnant women is especially worse
Namariq Numeiri, a displaced women from Port Sudan, talked about her difficult journey from Khartoum. <Since there was no transportation, I had to walk thousands of kilometers with my children. Then, we reached Al Jazeera province. We were displaced from there a few days later,> said Namariq Numeiri, stressing the suffering of women, especially pregnant women in IDP shelters. <Pregnant women suffer from the lack of medical support. They need money for examinations, the birth process, care of newborn babies and nutrition. However, the authorities do not allow male family members to work and deport them. There is no privacy in shelters and children are in need of special care.>
'People are turned into beggars'
The government does not fulfill its responsibility for the displaced people in the states under the control of the Sudanese-Armed Forces, especially in the north of Sudan and the Nile River, said Amira Osman, a human rights defender in Sudan and leader of the No to Oppression against Women Initiative. <Displaced people are treated as if they had arbitrarily left their homes. The government acts as if it is not responsible for displacement. People living in shelters are left alone. Due to economic collapse in the country, people have lost their jobs and business. They are turned into beggars.>
Call on authorities
Amira Osman drew attention to the living conditions and suffering of women living in IDP shelters. <The shelters are overcrowded and women living in the shelters suffer from the lack of basic services; they have no access to clean water, food and privacy. The shelters do not have health facilities providing services to displaced people. I call on the authorities and the government to provide safe shelters so that displaced people can have a safe life.> >>

<<Over-the-counter pain medications increase addiction rate in Idlib
In Idlib, the pain medications lead to addiction among people, especially those injured in the war. Such medications are sold illegally without a prescription by many pharmacies.
Idlib- People living in Idlib, occupied by the Turkish state and its armed faction Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have been affected by the ongoing Syrian war. Those injured in the ongoing war suffer from psychological problems and physical pain and they get addicted to pain medications prescribed by doctors and to over-the-counter medications sold by pharmacies. The instability and insecurity make it easier to use and sell such medications.
29-year-old Hanadi Al-Yassin got addicted to pain medications after being injured in a clash. <After I was injured and lost one of my legs, I got addicted to pain medications,> she said. <I first used pain medications to relieve the severity of the pain in my leg. Over time, I needed higher doses. I cannot live without them now. I tried to stop using them many times; however, I could not.>
She received addition treatment
32-year-old Zainab Haj Taha, a displaced woman from the city of Maarat al-Numan living in the Harbanoush IDP camp in Idlib, is a drug addict. <I was a student of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Aleppo. I was arrested by the Damascus government when I was in my last year of university. I was released from prison after nine months thanks to the efforts of my family,> said Zainab Haj Taha, who had to drop out of school for fear of being arrested again. <I had nothing but drugs. I isolated myself and I realized my bad situation very late. I received addiction treatment to get rid of drugs.>
'It was the hardest time of my life'
25-year-old Rana Gulsum also got addicted to pain medications after being injured in a clash. <I lost one of my hands and eyes. I was in pain and my doctor prescribed a painkiller. At the beginning, I took only two painkillers every day but then I started taking eight painkillers every day. I became addicted to painkillers. With the support of my relatives, I received an addiction treatment at a center in Idlib for five months. It was the hardest time of my life but I overcame my addiction.>
In an interview with NuJINHA, Hanan Al-Sayadi, a doctor in Idlib, spoke about the over-the-counter pain medications and how they lead to addiction. <Syrian law prohibits pharmacists from selling these medications to patients. However, they sell these medications to make money,> she said, stressing the threat posed by pain medications. <Addiction is an inability to stop using a substance or engaging in a behavior even though it may cause psychological or physical harm. It affects individuals and society, and can lead to death when taken in high doses. Awareness-raising activities should be carried out about the threat posed by pain medications.> >>
