Labour Rights
A significant issue for the native Syrian population as a result of the Israeli occupation has been the violation of Syrian workers’ labour rights.
Legal Services Program
The project aims to provide legal services, such as legal advice, correspondence with the authorities, and legal representation before the courts in specific cases related to the collective rights of the Syrian population, in addition to monitoring and documenting developments relate to human rights in Golan Heights. We hope that this project will fundamentally contribute to enhancing the capacity of the “legal services unit in Al-Marsad” in terms of providing legal support to the population, and raising awareness, locally and internationally, of the reality of human rights in the Golan Heights, in order to reduce violations against the Syrians of the Golan.

Economic, social and cultural rights program
In early 2018, Al-Marsad launched its project “New Ways of Seeing,” an interactive cultural program
that aims to develop critical thinking, freedom of expression, and cultural identity among youth
through interactive workshops in art, literature, music, cinema, and others. The program was
implemented with the grassroots "Fateh Al Mudarres center for Arts and Culture." In 2020, Al-
Marsad developed its project into an economic, social, and cultural rights program. This program is
focused on cooperating with and assisting civil, cultural groups that are active in the public cultural
field. This cooperation resulted in the achievement of the cultural festival "Jawlan Cultural Days – 1"
after a contraction of cultural activities for nearly a decade. Al-Marsad and its partners intend to
transform this activity into an established annual tradition.

During the 1970s, existing trade unions in the Occupied Syrian Golan, such as the Farmers Trade Union, were banned by the Israeli military due to their links to Syria, and later
Hotel in Neve Ativ – Illegal Israeli settlement
Israeli settlements were built in a number of places over destroyed Syrian villages and farms, which in turn meant that Israel had seized control of the land and resources. Each year Israeli authorities attract new settlers with the prospect of new jobs and encourage their arrival through socio-economic incentives.
