Story summary

In Syria, 150 women have recently graduated from the country's new police academy in Al-Tal, located north of Damascus, after completing a six-month training program. The graduates, who underwent rigorous military and physical training as well as courses on law enforcement procedures, are set to join the Interior Ministry units across Syria. This initiative is part of broader efforts by Syria’s current government to rebuild security forces and promote gender equality in policing roles. For 22-year-old May Aklajneh, one of the graduates, this marks the realization of a long-held childhood dream as she was among the first recruits when applications opened.
