Syrian organizations and associations established by the families of detainees remain at the forefront of the struggle for truth and justice in cases of enforced disappearances throughout the country. These victims’ groups represent a glimmer of hope for many in achieving justice for victims, working to highlight the suffering of affected families and exert pressure on authorities to provide clear information about the fate of detainees and missing persons. They also advocate for holding those responsible for violations accountable.

These groups include Families for Freedom Movement, Caesar Families Association, Massar Families Association or the Coalition of Families of Persons kidnapped by ISIS, Taafi Initiative, Synergy Associations, Families Of Truth & Justice, Release Me Organization, and A Good Seed Initiative.

Activists within these groups document cases of detention and enforced disappearance, offering legal and psychological support to families of the missing and raising awareness of these issues at both local and international levels. Through their efforts, these human rights associations aim to lay a common foundation for achieving peace and stability in Syria, rooted in the principle of justice as a cornerstone for rebuilding trust among community members and fostering reconciliation.
