About SRC
Syria Reporting Center (SRC) is an independent, non-profit organization founded in 2018 committed to documenting and preserving records of human rights violations in Syria, with the goal of building a future based on justice, restoration of civic trust, and the rule of law.
Leveraging its extensive on-the-ground presence, network, and advanced research methods, the organization provides meticulous intelligence on the hierarchical structures, key individuals, and operations within various armed groups, including both military and militia forces.
Through its work not only in exposing human rights abuses but also in mapping and attributing responsibility for these violations, SRC ensures that accurate and reliable data and evidence is available to accountability mechanisms at the level of governments and internationally mandated bodies.
Through our work in these critical areas, we are building a future where grievances are addressed, human rights are upheld, the environment is protected, and everyone has access to the resources they need to live in dignity.
We envision a Syria where all individuals, particularly women, children, and marginalized communities, can enjoy the protection and realization of their fundamental rights, access education and healthcare, and live in an environment that fosters equality and justice.
We aim for a Syria that is resilient, inclusive, and governed by transparency and accountability.
SRC is actively operating with a dedicated team on the ground in Damascus, as well as throughout all governorates south of Syria and in the northwest region, comprising Idliband Aleppo, in addition to Raqqa in the northeast of Syria. With a strong local presence, SRC is committed to addressing key issues and supporting efforts across these geographic areas.
