In 2018, Turkey attacked and occupied Afrîn, and in autumn 2019, Gîre Spi and Serêkanîye. In response, the Kurdish Women’s Movement (Kongra Star) called for international support. Since then, the campaign Women Defend Rojava gathers many internationalist solidarity activities with the Women’s Revolution and the people of Rojava.
For 5 years we have been organizing in more than 36 committees around the world. We have marched and took actions, we have published leaflets, books and dossiers, we have organized education, information events and delegations.
Today again, the people of Syria and the whole Middle East are under attack. At a time when the destruction by capitalist patriarchy is intensifying and war is spreading all over the world Islamist gangs, fed by the Turkish state, are terrorizing the people and continuing the policies of genocide and feminicide. This are attacks against Rojava. This are attacks against our hope for peace in the Middle East. In Rojava, the women’s revolution lives on and the construction of a democratic society is taking place. In the areas of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, people of different ethnic, religious and political groups live together and organize their daily life according to their needs. This was made possible through a long struggle with many sacrifice. In 2015, the Women’s and People’s Protection Units (YPG/YPJ) defeated ISIS in Kobanê. In 2019 the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) liberated Raqqa from the Islamist dictatorship of ISIS. Now the SDF and the YPG/YPJ have to fight once more against the Islamist gangs and imperialist plans in Aleppo, Sheba, Manbij and North and East Syria. It is time to take action. It is time to strengthen our networks of rebellion. It is time to defend Rojava!
