N\u00e9e en Syrie, Hind Kabawat a obtenu une licence en \u00e9conomie \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Damas, puis un dipl\u00f4me en droit de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 arabe de Beyrouth. Elle a ensuite poursuivi un master en droit et diplomatie \u00e0 la Fletcher School (Tufts University), compl\u00e9t\u00e9 par des certifications en n\u00e9gociation \u00e0 Harvard et en leadership \u00e0 Toronto.
Elle a exerc\u00e9 comme avocate internationale dans des cabinets \u00e0 Toronto entre 1989 et 2014. Parall\u00e8lement, elle a occup\u00e9 des fonctions de conseill\u00e8re principale \u00e0 l\u2019Institut des \u00c9tats-Unis pour la paix et si\u00e9g\u00e9 en tant que membre consultatif de la Banque mondiale. Son profil combine expertise juridique, sensibilit\u00e9 diplomatique et engagement pour les droits humains.
Depuis 2004, Kabawat dirige les programmes syriens du Center for World Religions, Diplomacy, and Conflict Resolution (CRDC) \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 George Mason. Elle y a form\u00e9 des centaines de Syriens \u00e0 la m\u00e9diation, au dialogue interconfessionnel et \u00e0 la r\u00e9solution pacifique des conflits. Elle est \u00e9galement fondatrice et directrice du Centre syrien pour le dialogue, la paix et la r\u00e9conciliation \u00e0 Toronto.
Son action a \u00e9t\u00e9 salu\u00e9e par plusieurs distinctions internationales, dont le prix \u00ab\u00a0Peacemakers in Action\u00a0\u00bb remis en 2007 par le Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, et le Public Diplomacy Award de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 George Mason en 2009.
Hind Kabawat a particip\u00e9 aux huit cycles des n\u00e9gociations de Gen\u00e8ve en 2017, en tant que membre de la Haute Commission des N\u00e9gociations (HCN), o\u00f9 elle a port\u00e9 la voix d\u2019une opposition mod\u00e9r\u00e9e et inclusive. Elle a aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 directrice adjointe du bureau de la Commission syrienne des n\u00e9gociations \u00e0 Gen\u00e8ve.
En f\u00e9vrier 2025, dans le contexte de transition post-Assad, elle rejoint le Comit\u00e9 pr\u00e9paratoire de la Conf\u00e9rence nationale de dialogue syrien. Le 29 mars, elle est nomm\u00e9e ministre des Affaires sociales et du Travail par le pr\u00e9sident Ahmed al-Charaa. Cette nomination, bien que symbolique, devra \u00eatre suivie d\u2019effets concrets dans un paysage politique encore instable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kabawat h\u00e9rite d\u2019un portefeuille minist\u00e9riel strat\u00e9gique dans une Syrie d\u00e9vast\u00e9e par douze ann\u00e9es de guerre. Ses priorit\u00e9s : r\u00e9insertion des d\u00e9plac\u00e9s, relance de l\u2019emploi, d\u00e9veloppement des services sociaux, protection des populations vuln\u00e9rables. Son exp\u00e9rience de terrain et ses comp\u00e9tences en diplomatie peuvent lui permettre de peser dans les arbitrages politiques \u00e0 venir.
Symbole de r\u00e9silience et de dialogue, Hind Kabawat incarne l\u2019aspiration \u00e0 une Syrie r\u00e9concili\u00e9e. Mais elle entre en fonction dans un contexte particuli\u00e8rement fragment\u00e9. Le pays reste divis\u00e9 entre zones d\u2019influence multiples (r\u00e9gime, oppositions, Kurdes, puissances \u00e9trang\u00e8res), avec un tissu social profond\u00e9ment meurtri et une \u00e9conomie \u00e0 reconstruire presque int\u00e9gralement. Le ch\u00f4mage atteint des sommets, l’inflation asphyxie les m\u00e9nages, et la corruption reste end\u00e9mique.
Dans ce paysage morcel\u00e9, la t\u00e2che de Kabawat ne se limite pas \u00e0 la gestion sociale : elle devra aussi impulser une vision inclusive dans un gouvernement o\u00f9 les logiques d’appartenance confessionnelle et politique continuent de pr\u00e9dominer. Sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 f\u00e9d\u00e9rer autour de projets transversaux, \u00e0 restaurer la confiance dans les institutions publiques, et \u00e0 attirer l’appui d’ONG et bailleurs internationaux sera d\u00e9terminante.
\u00c0 plus long terme, son action pourrait servir de catalyseur pour une red\u00e9finition du r\u00f4le des femmes et des minorit\u00e9s dans la vie politique syrienne. Mais tout d\u00e9pendra de l\u2019\u00e9volution de la transition elle-m\u00eame : si elle demeure purement formelle, ou si elle ouvre la voie \u00e0 une refondation durable du contrat social syrien. Dans ce combat incertain, Kabawat incarne \u00e0 la fois une exception… et une promesse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
