      I am not sure if this is an orientalist/racist comment (no women in streets because it is the Middle East/they are Arabs) or a super based one (it is the stronghold of the more religious/jihadist groups).

        There’s not a single woman if you take a look at the video and the photos in the article. The comment is based.

            That’s a good approach. I tried to search for celebrations in 2024 to make it recent, because those things can change, but I didn’t get enough relevant pictures to decide (most celebrations with obvious women were indoors). There would surely be other ways to find out what is the current women rghts situation in Syria (and it could also differ regionally, I expect). I won’t be able to go down that rabbit hole today, though. If you happen to have more information, be sure to share, I’m genuinely interested.
