Self-Determination Movement seeks to secure recognition of Swaida’s right to self-determination and to translate this right into a tangible political process
Documenting violations is an essential step, but it cannot be the final one.
Justice requires accountability. Lasting stability requires guarantees. And communities must be free to determine their own future if they are to secure their rights, dignity, and collective safety.

Forcing Swaida's students to travel to Damascus to sit for their exams is not an administrative measure it is an arbitrary policy that creates impossible conditions and deprives thousands of their right to education.
Join the peaceful sit-in:

Education must never be used as a tool of exclusion or coercion.

Families of the forcibly disappeared in Swaida gathered today at the Roman Theater in Shahba, demanding answers about their loved ones.
137 people from Swaida remain forcibly disappeared. Despite mounting evidence, Damascus authorities continue to deny responsibility. A leaked audio recording from one detainee reports that around 20 prisoners are being held in Adra Prison and are on hunger strike in protest of their detention and unknown fate.
The truth must be revealed.

The decision to relocate exam centers for Sweida students to Damascus and its countryside is not a mere administrative measure; it is a coercive policy that undermines students’ right to education and threatens their future.
We call on the people of Sweida to join a peaceful sit-in rejecting this arbitrary decision and defending our students’ right to safe and fair access to education and examinations.

The latest USCIRF report places Syria among countries of particular concern over systematic violations of religious freedom and escalating sectarian violence targeting Druze, Alawite, and Christian communities.
The report calls for targeted sanctions, international accountability, and constitutional guarantees protecting religious diversity and minority rights.
Impunity cannot build a stable state.
@USCIRF@SDM_Swaida
Students in Swaida are not political bargaining chips…
Nor should their future be used to break people’s will or impose submission.
From Al-Karama Square, students and families raise their voices:
We demand our basic right to safe education within Swaida, far from fear, coercion, and checkpoints.
When the road to an exam becomes a road of fear…
Demanding dignity becomes a duty.
