The Disappeared Doctors of Syria
From the earliest days of the Syrian uprising, the Syrian government targeted health care workers with detention, abuse, and torture for providing medical assistance to those who opposed the regime. This interactive map visualizes the 1,644 Syrian health care workers who were detained between 2011 to 2012, data analyzed in full in PHR’s 2021 report, “The Survivors, the Dead, and the Disappeared: Detention of Health Care Workers in Syria, 2011-2012.” Created in partnership with Electric Enjin.

A Decade of Death, Destruction, and Denial
After 10 years of war and untold suffering in Syria, the landscape for human rights, justice, and accountability looks bleak. In the spring of 2011, peaceful protesters took to the streets across Syria, demanding basic human rights and dignity. They were met with a fierce crackdown by the Syrian government that has since spiraled into a brutal and protracted conflict that has devastated the country.

The Rohingya: Resisting Annihilation
A violent August 2017 crackdown led by the Tatmadaw (armed forces of Myanmar) on Rohingya people living in northern Rakhine state killed thousands and drove more than 740,000 people out of Myanmar. The campaign unleashed extreme acts of violence against Rohingya communities: entire villages were burned, residents beaten, raped, and mutilated, and children slaughtered.

Women between War and Peace
In 2015, on the 15th anniversary of United Nations Security Council resolution 1325 (2000), which recognized the critical importance of women’s participation in peacemaking and peacebuilding, UN Women presented images from the archive of renowned photography agency Magnum Photos that speak to the many ways women’s lives are impacted by conflict.
In addition to the online presentation, the images were displayed inside UN headquarters on the margins of the annual UN Security Council Open Debate on Women, Peace and Security.
