Shifting the Narrative. Demanding Justice

Since 2017, SSJ has led an unwavering campaign for truth, justice, and accountability—especially in Japan, where the dominant narrative once echoed the voice of the Assad regime.

We challenged that silence and built a new conversation. Through public action and international solidarity, we helped shift Japan’s discourse on Syria from denial to truth.

Your support matters.

Every donation brings us closer to justice and dignity for all Syrians.

Our advocacy efforts include:

 

Bringing Syrian voices directly to Japanese and international audiences
