Dominique Bons

After having lost her son and his half brother within five months of each other in 2013, Dominique Bons decided that something had to be done. She quickly realized that there was no support or anyone working on preventing the loss of other youth running to join the various jihadist movements in Syria and Iraq. Dominique decided to found Syrien ne bouge agissons in January 2014 to start working on this issue and to provide support to many other families facing the same demise. A retired military employee, Dominique began devoting all of her time to her organization. She now presents in schools around France, works tirelessly connecting with other families, and continues to work at educating various family organizations how they too can help.
