The lack of legal culture among Syrian women, especially the culture that is related to their affairs, constitutes on of the most important issues that form a barrier in front of gaining their rights or at least demanding them. During the catastrophic situation that is created by current conditions in areas outside the control of the Syrian regime, especially the northwest of Syria, women started to contribute to securing daily needs and preserving their security and family’s security. These conditions made talking about these “right” quite difficult under the justification of bad current conditions and the lack of importance of these issues in relation to the priorities of daily life in terms of security and safety.

The importance of the study lies in the necessity of knowing women’s “awareness” of the issues that pertain to their lives in accordance with the provisions of the laws in Syria, and consequently the level of their knowledge and awareness about those laws and their stipulated rights. The importance of the study also lies in discovering the relationship between different generations of women and their knowledge and position from issues that would empower women in the society of the study, and this importance has a role in revealing programs and procedures that can contribute to empowering women and achieving their rights.

The objectives of the study are to identify the knowledge of women and men and their attitudes towards some of their rights (civil incidents and housing rights). And this is in order to know the level of this knowledge and attitudes so that we can get a vision about the relationship of women to some laws in the region.
