Syrian Writers Union

The Syrian Writers Union is a professional organization that brings together authors, poets, and playwrights in Syria. Founded in 1951, its main goals are to promote literature and support writers by providing resources, organizing events, and advocating for their rights. The Union also plays a role in preserving and promoting Syrian culture and heritage, often addressing social issues through literature. In the context of Syria's complex political landscape, it has faced challenges but continues to be a vital part of the literary community, fostering connections among writers and encouraging artistic expression.
