As part of its humanitarian and social role in caring for the most vulnerable groups, a team from the Directorate of Social Affairs and Labor in Deir Ezzor conducted a field visit to the central prison, which included the juvenile and women’s sections, to review the state of the services provided to inmates, identify their needs, and strengthen efforts aimed at ensuring their rights and preserving their dignity.

During the tour, the team was briefed on the accommodation conditions and services provided. The visit demonstrated concern for the proper treatment of guests, preserving their dignity, and providing healthy food, in addition to ensuring public hygiene, which contributes to providing a humane environment that takes into account their basic needs.

The visit also focused on the importance of enhancing health and educational follow-up of juveniles, and providing them with psychological and social support, which helps meet their needs and support opportunities for their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. In this context, the need for coordination to reactivate the «Juvenile Protection» and «Prisoner Care» associations was emphasized, given their role in supporting these groups and enhancing the care provided to them.

This visit comes as part of the Directorate’s efforts to enhance social and humanitarian work, and develop coordination with relevant authorities and partners, ensuring the protection of the rights of juveniles and women, improving their care conditions, and providing an environment that preserves their dignity and supports their rehabilitation and positive integration into society.

The Directorate affirmed its continued efforts to monitor the conditions of the most vulnerable groups, based on its social and humanitarian responsibility and its belief in the importance of integrated care in protecting rights and enhancing opportunities for empowerment and reintegration.
