fully dedicated that awareness raising on rights of women and their
assistance within the framework of educational programs in human rights
as well as dissemination in sectors of the society and civil and government
entities is a key to copying with these obstructions‖ [7]. This statement of
Amnesty International is very topical and require realization. Having a
clear privilege before national organizations on human rights, international
NGOs should actively cooperate with Mass Media to draw the attention of
the international community, academicians and heads of states to problems
of Arabian women. Attitude to this topic should have a systematic and
stable character. Today, women have to not only fight for their political
rights and the opportunity to participate in social and economic lives of
their countries, but also for the right to live. Investigation conducted by the
International Court of Crime confirmed many facts of violent attitude to
the women who participated in anti-government declarations in 2010 and
2011 [3,p.186]. Women and children are key victims of armed conflicts.
According to assessments of UN, the number of Syrians increases year by
year and reached 4.27 million in 2015 [6]. These problems should be in the
center of the attention of the international community, state heads and
international non-governmental
organizations
