On #WorldRefugeeDay, we asked @Karam__Shaar: Do you think #SyrianRefugees have sufficient information about the reality in #Syria, especially security & living conditions, to make an informed decision which would make their return truly voluntary? #WithRefugees #IHaveRightToKnow

In the study we conducted in collaboration with @spaceofhope, results show that economic pressures are the main obstacle to participation in public affairs for a vast majority of Syrian youth, followed by lack of qualifications/abilities of youth, then fear of the authorities.

[Operations & Policy Center (OPC) @OPC_Syria]

Livelihood support programs rank first in terms of overall youth interest, while sub-sampling by gender indicates a higher desire among female respondents to work on social issues.

[Operations & Policy Center (OPC) @OPC_Syria]

In areas that showed less interaction on social media, there was a higher tendency to discuss public affairs through private conversations.

[Operations & Policy Center (OPC) @OPC_Syria]

One notable result from the study we conducted in collaboration with @spaceofhope on Syrian #youth and the public sphere is that youth in SDF-controlled areas were the most informed about issues of public affairs, while youth in regime-controlled areas were the least informed.

[Operations & Policy Center (OPC) @OPC_Syria]

According to the respondents, participation in humanitarian and civil society organizations was the highest across the five areas of participation, with an average of 15%.
