Weaving a women's economy in the Rojava Revolution of North and East Syria
Aborîya Jin - 'Women’s Economy' - are a democratic, autonomous economic body that's part of the women’s movement in North and East Syria. They are part of Kongra Star, a vast umbrella of the many organs of the women's movement, from women's committees at the commune (neighbourhood assembly) level, up through the autonomous administration system which forms the new system of stateless radical democracy that is re-organising society from the ground up.
Active right across the region and made up entirely of women, Aboriya Jin's work is to strengthen the role of women in society by building up the women’s economy, empowering women to become self-reliant, and developing confidence and collective autonomy. They are the main women’s co-operative development body in the region and are also supporting the foundation of communities and agricultural projects for families who have lost their main breadwinner in the war.
This event will take place monthly on the second Saturday of each month between 15:00-17:00 UTC on Zoom, with live simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, English, French, Kurdish (Kurmancî), Punjabi, Spanish and Turkish.
