This article provides a comprehensive comparative assessment of documentation on the abduction, disappearance, and abuse of Alawite women and girls in post‑Assad Syria. Drawing on international journalism, human‑rights reporting, UN Special Procedures communications, activist datasets, and survivor testimony, it synthesizes convergent patterns of gendered and sectarian violence that have intensified since early 2025. The analysis demonstrates that these incidents reflect coordinated operations marked by sectarian profiling, coerced video statements, organized networks, and systematic obstruction by security institutions. Attention is given to the methodological contributions of IDHRV‑ARMIL, whose multilayered verification model—integrating ethnographic fieldwork, structured interviews, triangulated evidence, and survivor‑centered protocols—offers one of the most rigorous frameworks for documenting minority persecution in Syria. The study identifies key methodological strengths and structural constraints across the literature and argues that robust documentation is essential for accountability, protection, and future justice mechanisms in transitional Syria.
