Women and girls are afraid to leave the house or walk alone,\u201d Callamard added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She emphasized that all women in Syria deserve to live free from fear, abuse, and discrimination, and that investigations must be prompt, thorough, and led by independent investigators with full access to necessary resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accountability must be pursued, and reparation should be provided. A failure to do so is a human rights violation,\u201d Callamard stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The call by Amnesty follows the release of the final report by Syria\u2019s National Committee for Investigation and Fact-Finding last Tuesday regarding recent incidents in the coastal region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since February, Amnesty has received credible reports of the abduction of at least 36 Alawite women and girls, aged between three and thirty-three, across the governorates of Latakia, Tartus, Homs, and Hama.
