Why Are Syrian Women Protesters ‘Invisible’ in Mainstream News?
Since the March 2011 uprising in Syria which saw its citizens openly revolting against their leader Bashar al-Assad, more than 5,000 have lost their lives. Among the dead are women who have been protesting against a regime which has been roundly denounced for its aggression and brutality on the international stage.
Dr. Mohja Kahf, Associate Professor
at the U.S.-based University of Arkansas and author of “Women’s mass protests during the Syrian Revolution: A Preliminary Analysis,” argues this perception is misleading. She points out that Syrian women have been “providing logistical work for protest activity.”
“Because women were not seen street-protesting in the first few electrifying days of massive protests especially in Daraa March 18-24, the Syrian revolution was early typified by the viewer reaction, “Where are the women?” Dr. Kahf also states women have been involved in “day and night protests, marches, candle-lit vigils, sit-ins,” as well as “interfaith and inter-sect rallies.”

It's a topic they want to forget because of the bad experiences. 
Such as they are, they have been "covered":
MEANWHILE, many women protesting against the insurgency have not been covered by the Western media at all.
