More than 500 Kurdish women, including politicians, academics and artists, have written a joint letter calling for the recognition of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. The letter was addressed to US President-elect Donald Trump and United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres. The letter campaign was led by South Kurdistan academic Nermin Osman.

The letter calling on Donald Trump and António Guterres to officially recognize the status of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and ensure its international security reads as follows:

“The Kurdish people, numbering nearly 50 million, are among the most ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia. Since the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, Kurdistan has been divided into four regions, subjecting the Kurdish population to denial and annihilation policies by the states governing these territories. This division has left the Kurdish people without official recognition as political and cultural members of the global community. Despite this, for the past century, the Kurdish people have tirelessly fought for their identity, rights, and equality, striving for a free and harmonious coexistence with neighboring communities. This struggle has resulted in the establishment of the Kurdistan Federation in Iraq and the de facto Democratic Autonomous Administration in Syria.

However, Kurdish gains continue to face severe threats, including from nationalism and radical Islamist groups. In 2014, the world witnessed the ISIS-led genocide in Shingal and its brutal assaults on Rojava, particularly in Kobane. ISIS’s terrorism extended beyond these regions, targeting the free world and causing widespread devastation. The resistance of the Kurdish people and their partners in Shingal and Rojava not only defeated ISIS but also left a lasting legacy of resilience and solidarity for humanity. The unity forged between Kurdish women, local communities, and international coalition forces in this struggle remains a cornerstone of hope and progress.

Following the weakening of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, Turkey and its allied jihadist militias, including the Syrian National Army (SNA), have persistently attacked the autonomous regions of Northeastern Syria. These actions aim to eradicate the Kurdish people and their achievements, including the progressive governance of the South Kurdistan Federation. The Kurdish people, with their cultural heritage, democratic governance, secular values, and advocacy for women’s freedom, embody the principles of a modern, inclusive Middle East. To undermine them is to harm the shared ideals of freedom and democracy that bridge Eastern and Western civilizations.

The ongoing attacks and the threat of genocide against the physical and political existence of the Kurdish people, particularly women, in Rojava persist because the Autonomous Administration of Northeast Syria has not been granted formal recognition by international institutions and states.

We, the undersigned Kurdish women and organizations, urgently call on you to officially recognize the status of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and ensure its international security. This administration stands as a guarantor of freedom and democratic life, not only for the Kurdish people but also for women worldwide. The threats posed by jihadist militias and ISIS are existential risks to women, threatening massacres, sexual crimes, and enslavement. The Autonomous Administration represents the collective will and governance of Kurdish women and women from across the globe.

We believe that granting political recognition to the Autonomous Administration will secure the Kurdish people’s and women’s status as equal and free participants in Syria’s reconstruction. We trust that you will heed this call and provide a sincere example of friendship and solidarity."
