Syrian Ink is founded on the understanding that language, knowledge, and media do not merely reflect reality, but also shape how society perceives individuals and groups. Therefore, balanced representation and respect for diversity are considered part of the professional responsibility of any publishing space.
General Principles
The website is committed to respecting the dignity of all individuals without discrimination based on sex, gender, social background, religion, or culture. It avoids stereotypes and language that diminishes or marginalizes any social group.
Language Use
The website seeks to use clear and respectful language and to avoid derogatory, discriminatory, or stereotypical expressions. The site does not impose specific linguistic formulas on contributors; rather, it aims to avoid wording that carries implicit exclusion or preconceived judgments.
Representation and Content
The website seeks to:
- Provide space for writers of diverse backgrounds
- Encourage topics that address society, justice, and social representation
- Avoid portraying any social group as a fixed or ready-made stereotype
Rejection of Hate Speech
The website does not publish any content that includes:
- Direct incitement to violence or hatred
- Insults or ridicule based on sex or gender
- Justification of violence or discrimination against individuals or groups
Editorial Handling
All submissions undergo editorial review. Contributors may be asked, in coordination with them, to revise wording that carries discriminatory or exclusionary implications, in order to preserve both the integrity of the text and respect for readers.
Purpose
This policy does not aim to impose intellectual or social positions on contributors. Rather, it seeks to ensure that the publishing space remains safe, respectful, and open to balanced, knowledge-based discussion.
