From Silence to Activism: A Journey of Syrian Resilience

Bayan left Aleppo, Syria when she was 7 years old, after her father escaped from prison for protesting The Assad Regime. Bayan’s activism in Canada began by translating a powerful memoir of human rights violations in Syria. Following years of community organization, she eventually co-founded The Syrian Canadian Foundation to support refugees coming to Canada. Syria was liberated from The Assad Regime in 2024, after 13 years of Revolution. Bayan shares her journey and the hope she has for Syria’s future.
