Syria's First Parliamentary Elections Post-Assad Highlight Representation Issues

Syria's first parliamentary elections since the fall of Bashar al-Assad have raised serious concerns about representation, with only 4% of elected members being women and just 2 Christians. The election process has been criticized for its undemocratic nature, as a third of parliament members were appointed. This situation underscores the ongoing challenges for inclusivity and equality in Syrian governance, reflecting a significant gap between demographics and political representation.
