Migrants throughout Syria are being forced into abusive situations, including slavery and sexual abuse.  Since 2011 Syrians have been fighting a civil war against their government.  More than 70,000 lives have been taken from conflicts during this time and another 1.5 million Syrians have crossed boarders in attempt to live a better life.  The Syrian Civil War was started because most Syrians do not feel the same family should be able to run the country for as long as they have.  Syria's President Bashar al-Assad's family has been in power since 1971.  It is the people who support a new government and a new way of life who are in danger.
