Abstract

Despite several so-called peace and reconciliation agreements signed between regime and opposition forces in Daraa from 2018 to 2021, evidence shows that human safety in the south has decreased, and free movement is a right that Syrians can only dream of.

This policy brief discusses challenges that hinder the free movement of people and aid, at-risk groups, and strategies for improving free movement in the south. Recommendations are provided for the Syrian government, the international community, and donors.

This report is an output of the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform (PEACEREP) programme
