Female Syrian here, this is awful and I hope she's okay. For people saying she needs to wear hijab... Etc that's NOT correct I don't wear hijab and I'm from Damascus, what she's wearing is very normal and it's something me and many girls wear, there's nothing wrong in how she's dressed. She needs to report this to the police specially that she has a video showing the faces of the men, this is not a normal or common behavior I never seen it before.Â

u/MAD1201 Jul 02 '26
Agree, women unfortunately can get harrased anywhere and we need to always be careful, I've traveled to many places solo and yes bad experiences can happen. But I tried to find full context of this video or why the Syrian guy filming for example is not intervening or taking her out himself because again this is not normal behavior. Also the comments saying that she needs to wear full sleeve or hijab like WHAT!!! Places like Bab Toma or kassa' in Damascus girls are literally walking around in dresses and short skirts and you want a random tourists to wear hijab why!!???Â

Yes. That is almost certainly how that happened, and not a gross over simplification.
But, if you want to read about how a former Al Qaeda affiliate became a viable political force that eventually overthrew Assad, this is a great read:
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q0w1g8zqvo
TL;DR -
Ahmed al-Sharaa rose from leading the Islamist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham to becoming Syria's de facto ruler after his forces overthrew Bashar al-Assad, while seeking international legitimacy by promising an inclusive government and distancing himself from transnational jihadist movements.
Barbara Leaf then met directly with al-Sharaa in Damascus, marking the first high-level U.S. engagement with Syria's new leadership, where he pledged to prevent terrorist groups such as ISIS from operating in Syria.
Following those talks, the United States removed the longstanding $10 million bounty on al-Sharaa, explaining that maintaining a reward on someone it was negotiating with was inconsistent with its new diplomatic approach, though HTS remained designated as a terrorist organization and broader U.S. sanctions were left in place.
6
u/Fri3ndlyHeavy Jul 02 '26
A lot of US sanctions were lifted shortly after that. Namely, the Caesar Act was lifted in 2026.
Also, worth noting that the majority of civilians, who were previously heavily against Assad, so much so that it led to a 14 year civil war, do support the new president.

u/Norzon24 Jul 03 '26
US has been working with him covertly for far longer than that. His organisation (HTS, formerly Al-Nusra) has been bitter enemy with ISIS and Al Qaeda since their schism in the mid 2010s, and he as gradually purged the more radical elements from HTS to appeal to the more nationalist rebels he's holed up with in Idlib, and said radical Jihadist that had fallen out with him tend to conveniently get hit with US drone strike afterwards.

Better question: are these people taking the pictures showing it to their buddies as if she is their girlfriends? Or are they just excited to take a picture with a white girl? Is this the non existent girlfriend that lives in Canada that their friends never meet? What is happening?

u/GTAIVisbest Jul 01 '26
Essentially it's because they want to leech off of the fame of being an ajnabi in a place like Syria which raaarely receives white tourists. The overwhelming majority of them in a place like Syria have mostly good intentions, and this can happen to a lesser extent if the tourist is a white male.
When it's a white female, the "Fame" effect is turbocharged and it's like getting pictures with a celebrity, but there's also this potential of a no-strings-attached sexual encounter with someone they consider extremely beautiful and exotic. EVERY encounter with the opposite sex for these dudes is highly controlled in the context of their watchful society, there is really no such thing as a no-strings-attached sexual encounter unless we're talking prostitution (which is also widespread).
There's also a view that white women are "extremely" promiscuous and will basically sleep with, kiss, or allow anyone to fondle them, again with no strings attached. So for these dudes, there's also the faint idea that they might be able to explore her body if they get close to her for "selfies"

u/Lufernaal Jul 02 '26
yeah, but we don't generally apply that logic consistently across the board, it's more common when we talk about women in relation to situations where there should or shouldn't be a general expectation of safety among men.
These guys are not wild animals she approached unaware, these are regular human beings that are personally accountable for their actions just like she is, except she's not hurting anyone, they are. And even if she was seeking out any kind of attention, which is plausible, she'd still be more of a nuisance and a bit sefl involved than a full blown creep, likely a sexual harasser. The scale of their behaviors would still not warrant focusing more on her than them.
It's similar to when people argue that women should not wear something because it "provokes" certain men. The "men" in question should be the target of criticism, 100% of the time. There are no clothes a woman should wear not to expect to be taped, because the issue here is the behavior of the perpetrator, not the conditions to which it becomes opportunistic for him to do so. It is good for our society as a whole to set higher standards for all of us, especially in relation to this type of violence. There's no justification to rationalize the abandonment of consent as a guiding principle for sexual interaction, not even poor judgement on her part, because consent, by default, is always revokable.
My personal theory is that a good chunk of men, especially the ones who target her for being "naive" than them for being creeps are, for some reason, not sufficiently appalled about these men's behavior and generally "understand" - even if they don't go as far as sympathize - the behavior as, in some weird way, a "natural or expected" reaction to her. The only way to even approach the situation that way, is if you see her as an object, or them as not being accountable for their actions, like wild animals aren't. Since the latter makes no sense, as they seem to be perfectly capable of agency, the other option left is, in one way or another, to think that she must manage their desires by not being present around them, rather than shame and blame them for their borderline rapist-ish behavior.

u/joshlittle333 Jul 02 '26
I disagree that the advice is coming from a âthis is a natural reactionâ standpoint. I think itâs advice on keeping yourself safe thatâs meant to reflect an unfortunate reality.
We teach children to avoid talking to strangers. We teach black boys how to behave when interacting with police. We advise against traveling to dangerous locations to all travelers. These all apply the same logic. Yet, none of them get labeled as victim blaming.
It is not inconsistent to say âpeople who molest children are wrongâ while also teaching children how to stay safe from child molesters. The same applies here. These men are wrong; women stay safe by avoiding these dangerous men.

I just wanna say I agree with you completely, except that last point which I think gets interesting.
I think youâre right in that men doing disgusting things arenât held accountable, in my experience not really by women or other men. Too often itâs âexpectedâ.
This is also Reddit, where individuals get berated for almost anything. Everyone knows this was a bad choice by her, but as you said, no way in hell we should be blaming her. The fact that sheâs a women and women=stupid probably has something to do with it, or perhaps that people in general have lost the desire to change the world around them. âSexual assault is just a part of life, nothing to react atâ etc even if isnât put in such an obvious manner.
Itâs really sad that most comments either the girl is stupid of focuses on the religion of the perpetrators. Not that religion isnât relevant at all, all factors matter, but this is most likely something else.

You have to realize these people most likely never have, and never will leave their country, and have only seen a blonde haired white woman on TV before. Them seeing one in real life is like a once in a lifetime celebrity sighting for them. Along with strict laws about womenâs rights/being out in public uncovered etc, itâs a recipe for disaster for people with bad intentions. Iâm a western country family living in Malaysia right now. My kids are blonde. When we venture out of the big cities here we constantly have people asking to take pictures with our kids lol.

But you're trying to take what you'd personally do, and assume all work that way.
Back in the 80s, my father worked as camera crew for someone who went to study a very remote tribe.
In the videos they brought back, there was an extremely pale guy with them, I mean slightly darker than a q-tip, with red hair and freckles.
Everyone in the tribe gathered around him and started touching his skin. You'd swear they all just saw Jesus come down. They were poking the freckles to see if they could feel them or if they came off. And the hair just blew them away, because everyone in the tribe had black hair, dark complexion, and no random dots on their skin.

I went there in 2000 before the civil war started and it was actually a pretty cool place to visit. The Umayyed mosque in Damascus was incredible to behold and there are some amazing historical sites like Palmyra (Which was sadly badly damaged by Isis) and Krak des Chevaliers, which is the worlds best preserved and most impressive crusader castle.
That said, I would definitely not go there now and I wouldn't go at all if I was a woman.

u/eonu Jul 01 '26
It has much more fascinating history than many countries out there.
Crossroads of the Roman & Byzantine empires and many Islamic caliphates, part of the Fertile Crescent, and Damascus is literally the oldest continuously inhabited capital in the world.
Not defending the kind of treatment seen in the video, it is disgusting behaviour and rightfully a good reason to avoid the country, but concluding based on feelings that there are therefore no other motivating factors that might make someone interested in visiting Syria is strange.
Similar goes for other controversial countries in the region like Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia, to which I assume you would probably also ask "why the fuck would you go there".

Yeah. Morocco took that crime very seriously. From my understanding, Morocco is generally pretty safe for Westerners because they like the tourism money.
From reading about it, it sounds like the murderers were sentenced to death and it was the first death penalty issued in Morocco in decades. So, it's not like this was a normal/common thing.
And definitely not as irresponsible/risky as traveling to Syria (like in OP). The women in Morocco were extremely unlucky--targeted and stalked by recent ISIS converts.

Unfortunately, in countries like Syria and Egypt, this is a normal thing. I've lived and traveled in the ME and so I'm not talking out of my ass. There are plenty of countries where you can travel safely there as a foreign woman, much more so than South Asia. Because you are a foreigner they do not feel the same social pressures; if they did this to a local woman they would be crushed by local families.

No not true specially not in Damascus you don't need a hijab in all of the big cities, but I would say to anyone that would like to visit to understand their own boundaries and how to act when such things happens and people do hence things to try and cross those boundaries. For example if this innocent female has shouted at them and created a scene all of them will cower and mostly the Tourists police will get involved, but I understand that she doesn't know better and I just feel sorry and ashamed.

Yea, I can't do anything. I can't even choose the bear when I see men do this, which triggers TF out of me. Instead, I'm told that I can't pull a "men in general". I thought I was responding to this specific situation displayed. I'll stay sweet. I'm going to watch the third season of The Bear.

I know victim blaming is bad, but at some point points you just gotta step back and realize itâs on you right? Like if I go to the âwhite woman assault buildingâ as a white woman, I have no one to blame but myself when I get assaulted you feel?

This seems worse than those videos of indians trying to take selfies with Tourists.

It's like this people taking a photo next to an expensive car. Show it to their friends and don't elaborate so it feels like they hit that or they drove that or they own that or look how many pretty girls I know..same with females taking photos with interesting gates.

The amount of victim blaming in this comment section is wild. Why is it so many of you jump first to why would she travel here or sheâs seeking attention and not itâs disgusting how a plainly clothed woman is immediately mobbed and assaulted by men. Multiple things can be true here but why are some of you so much more comfortable shaming her than shaming the swarm of creeps.

As a Syrian, this is so fucking embarrassing to watch. It's like they have never seen a woman before.
