Since the outbreak of the Syrian conflict in 2011, international, global, and local organizations have mobilized to address civilian needs, with a primary focus on basic humanitarian aid. However, this study highlights the relative neglect of deeper societal impacts—particularly the long-term effects of war on Syrian family dynamics, including shifts in gender roles and the challenges of raising children amid conflict. The dominance of international organizations, often operating with predefined agendas, raises concerns about their understanding of Syria's diverse familial and cultural contexts, as well as their limited emphasis on fostering family resilience. This study urges policymakers and regional stakeholders to prioritize locally grounded knowledge production in order to inform more context-sensitive policies. Drawing on both Western and Arab literature, along with a wide range of qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, the research seeks to contribute to efforts aimed at rebuilding and strengthening family resilience in war- and disaster-affected environments.
