Now is the time of women! 🌿✊ For the 8th March we want to send our warmest greetings to all you beautiful comrades. Just as civilization began with the productive force of women and mothers - the female creator giving birth to women and men, agriculture, architecture, language, arts, clothing, culture and believe, being one with the cosmic forces of the universe and nature - the 21st century is calling on us as women worldwide. Now is the time of women. This is a call, but also a need for the decision to struggle. As Abdullah Öcalan says to "begin the enormous practical task, of implementing the ideology of women's liberation. Of taking a qualitative leap from the ideology of women's liberation to a political practice of women's liberation", turning the 21st century into a positive revolutionary struggle. Nothing is more internationalist then the united struggle of us women, having been enslaved spiritually and physically, having been wholly colonized as the first nation to bring again to freedom that devine force of our common existence. The 3rd World War has entered a more extreme phase of protracted wars, military interventions, genocidal politics, mass rape culture and daily intensified special warfare against our thoughts and our bodies. We thus pledge to also intensify our efforts to building an "ecological, democratic, and communal social system based on women's freedom". We women must bring our collective universal strength to the forefront, as it is a strength of solution, becoming a leading force for freedom and peace worldwide. We wish success to all of you, and send you our respect and love. ✌️💜 #JinJiyanAzadi #8M #8Mart #8March

The Jin Jiyan Azadî Revolution is the demise of the February 15th conspiracy #FreedomForAbdullahOcalan

No army of bodyguards, No million-dollar car convoy No arrogance There is nobility, there is humility, there is sincerity

This is very moving! In solidarity with their fellow student Fatma Mihemed, who lost all her family members and her legs in an attack by HTŞ on her family's home in Xirab Hişkê, the students of Kobane University are making a statement on their knees.

A participant in the "People's Caravan for the Defense of Humanity" describes the sexual abuse she suffered while in Turkish custody. They had tried to reach Rojava to draw attention to the cruel and, in many cases, sexualized violence that women in particular suffer here as a result of attacks by HTŞ. But just as she makes it clear that it is not only her, but every woman who fights against the patriarchal system who suffers sexualized violence, she assures us that the struggle for women's freedom is a common one, in which every experience of violence that our friends endure strengthens our will for revenge through building a free life.

If you would like to know more about Abdullah Öcalan, you can find information in this documentary.

In memory of Ş. Denîz Çiya, expression of a revolutionary woman who loved freedom and the sisterhood of peoples! 🕯️🕯️🕯️

Forced by the Damascus interim government the Arab population keeps exhuming the remains of their children, who fell as martyrs in the war against ISIS, from the cemetery in the Al-Karamah region of Reqqa. Farhad Şamî, Director of the SDF Media Center, stated that out of 12.000 martyrs in SDF there are 5.821 martyrs from the Arab component of the society in Syria. We remember them once again and condemn the disrespectful treatment of their remains. In our hearts, they rest in peace and dignity and will never be forgotten. 🌹🌹🌹

The General Command of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) released a statement paying tribute to one of their fighters, Mizgîn Jiyan, who fought in Kurdistan’s mountains, avenged Yazidi women in Shengal and then continued her struggle in Rojava. "Comrade Mizgîn Jiyan did not view struggle solely within the limits of being a fighter; she aspired to become an intellectual revolutionary who felt the philosophy of freedom in every cell of her being. For her, education was not merely the acquisition of knowledge, but a process of self-realization and self-transformation away from the impositions of the capitalist system. She saw every moment of education as a battlefield—against the dominant system and against the remnants within herself—and deeply embedded the ideology of women’s freedom into her character." Finally, Comrade Mizgîn headed to the city of resistance, Kobani—a city that, through the heroic sacrifices of Arîn and Rîvana, became a fortress of human dignity against the darkest era of the century. Kobani is not merely a city; it has become a symbol of the defeat of occupation and the first seed of the women’s revolution. On this sacred land, where hundreds of heroic women have inscribed immortal epics, the militant Mizgîn stood tall with steadfastness and revolutionary resolve. She fought the invaders’ barbarity with fierce determination at every front. In the most critical moments, when attacks intensified by every means, Comrade Mizgîn —armed with the memory and conviction she had gained from the philosophy of Leader Abdullah Öcalan—did not allow the enemy to advance a single step. With unyielding will, she resisted the invasion until her final breath and never retreated until the moment of her martyrdom. She did not bow before the enemy of the people and became a living legacy for all women striving for freedom. Unable to withstand her will in direct confrontation, the enemy sought revenge for its defeat in Kobani through cowardly methods. Yet Comrade Mizgîn did not deviate for a single moment from her goals of freedom, even when she was targeted by a reconnaissance attack of the gangs. She walked proudly toward the caravan of the immortals. This cowardly attack stands as the clearest evidence of the occupiers’ impotence in the face of the women’s revolution. Comrade Mizgîn Jiyan has become a pioneer of the free life. We pledge to our honorable and dignified comrade that we will realize her dreams and aspirations for a free life step by step by intensifying the struggle. We will not retreat from our goals for a free future. We will continue the struggle relentlessly until our Leader is free and a free life is achieved. We bow with reverence before her courage. We renew our condolences to her family and to our freedom-loving people. And we renew our pledge to Leader Abdullah Öcalan and to the martyrs: we will crown Comrade Mizgîn’s struggle with victory.” 🌹🌹🌹
