Recently we have seen increasing violence against women and rising cases of femicide. At the same time, we can also observe the growing resistance to this patriarchal violence.

In our second interview Zehra Samuri, from the coordination of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), shares with us her perspectives about self-defence.
