The Syrian Nonviolence Movement is a non-governmental organization formed in 2011 by a group of Syrian activists. They believe in peaceful struggle and civil resistance as a way to achieve social, cultural and political change in the Syrian state and society.[1]
The organization aims to spread awareness about how change should happen in society with no violence and through non-violence tactics.[2]
Syrian Nonviolence Movement has conducted several grassroots initiatives since the beginning of the Syrian revolution, such as karamah Strike (known as "Dignity Strike in Syria") [3] [4]
The group gathered other non-violence groups under an umbrella called "Freedom Days" which organized and planned many non-violent activities and projects during the Syrian Revolution
The Syrian Nonviolence Movement produced a map of nonviolence activities during the Syrian Civil War. The interactive map visualizes many civil initiatives that emerged during the civil war[5] [6]
