Hasakah- The Martyr Amara Psychological Counseling Center opened by the Women's Council of North and East Syria in the town of Til Temir, Jazira Canton, provides psychological support to women and girls. Fadiya Al-Ewed, a psychologist at the center, says women may need psychological support due to the negative effects of war.

 ‘There is a need for counselors who can provide psychological support'

There is a need for counselors, who can provide psychological support to people in the region due to the ongoing war and attacks, Fadiya Al-Ewed said in an interview with NuJINHA. “All forms of violence and right violations caused by war, such as taken as captive, abduction, sexual abuse, negatively affect women. The ongoing war and attacks cause the burden of women to become even heavier. Recently, there is an increase in suicide death due to the ongoing Turkish attacks on the region.”

 Speaking about the revolution led by women in North and East Syria, she said, “Women led a revolution in North and East Syria despite oppression and attacks. They have been rebuilding their lives. This revolution shows that a safe life can be built and it becomes a source of strength, inspiration and hope for all women.” Calling on women to get psychological support from the Martyr Amara Psychological Counseling Center, Fadiya Al-Ewed said, “Because we live in an unstable situation due to the ongoing Turkish attacks. Women should not hesitate to get psychological support. Women may need psychological support to struggle more. If they get psychological support, they will be stronger to maintain their lives.” At the end of her speech, Fadiya Al-Ewed wished a happy International Women’s Day to all women.
