ISIS fired on a women’s support centre in Deir ez-Zor

The victims were avoided and the building was partially destroyed. The Mala Jin leadership provided temporary shelter and legal advice to victims of domestic violence during divorce proceedings. In addition, the centre’s staff also held lectures at which women were taught about equality with men in the family.

One version is that the centre recruited women into the Arab-Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces, which made it a legitimate target for the ISIS.
