The Voices Project USA, Inc.

The Syria Campaign (TSC), registered as The Voices Project in the United States, is an advocacy organization that works to strengthen Syrian civil society and uplift efforts for transitional justice and long-term peace. TSC grounds its campaigns in personal storytelling, counters disinformation, and urges policymakers and the public to take action.

TSC has worked alongside survivors, activists, journalists, lawyers, and others in Syrian civil society to press the United Nations and the international community for accountability in Syria. In March 2022, they launched Syria Waits, a photography project featuring families looking for answers about the fate of their forcibly disappeared loved ones. A month later, TSC helped amplify the findings of a report by the Association of Detainees and the Missing at Sednaya Prison revealing the Assad regime had confiscated up to $1.5 billion worth of assets from detainees.

Later that year, the U.N. Secretary-General published a report recommending “the creation of a new institution dedicated to clarifying the fate and whereabouts” of more than 100,000 people who have been disappeared in Syria. TSC helped bring a delegation of families to the United Nations in New York to discuss how to translate the Secretary-General’s recommendations into concrete measures.

“We knew this was going to work when the U.N. delegates began referring to the people in our stories by name,” said Raya Homsi, Development and Impact Manager for TSC.

In June 2023, TSC leveraged a case filed by Canada and the Netherlands against Syria in the International Court of Justice to draw further media attention to the stories of forcibly disappeared and their families. Less than a month later, the U.N. adopted a resolution establishing the Independent Institution on Missing Persons in Syria (IIMP). In February 2025, an IIMP team made its first visit to Syria to meet with families of the missing and prepare a project to discover their fate and whereabouts.

Since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, TSC is urging international institutions and the interim authorities of Syria to support a Syrian-led effort, involving families and survivors, to preserve evidence, investigate crimes, and hold all perpetrators to account.
