She has recently been involved in training women in Syria to engage and negotiate for peace.

Veronica Bellintani has been involved in activism for the Syrian revolution from 2011 and since then has worked with Syrian refugees in Italy, Greece and Turkey. Being engaged to a survivor of the systematic torture campaign of the Assad regime, she has a direct experience of the long-term psychological effects of said trauma.
