The International Women's Conference will be held in Germany from 5 to 7 October.

Preparations are underway for the International Women’s Conference to be held in Frankfurt on 6 and 7 October. 

The Rojava revolution no doubt carries the character of a women's revolution. To talk about the achievements and challenges ahead, women from different parts of the world, who have been gathering and organizing around this new communitarian paradigm, will meet in the German city. 

In the call to women and friends, the conference organisers write: “We want to bring together and combine our knowledge, power to change and our experiences in the conference “Revolution in the Making”. We think that as much as an in-depth analysis of state-class civilizations’ ways and methods used in the colonization of women there is a need for the revival of the resistance memory of women”. 

Organisers added: “We find it extremely important that we share experiences; so that we can be prepared for patriarchal system’s new attacks. We will thus be able to create paths, methods and perspectives that can match the conditions, qualities and needs of our age. So that we can organize ourselves and create our alliances from the local to the universal. Against the constant attacks of the patriarchal system we will be able to weave a durable network of resistance. Thus, we will have the opportunity to become an active subject of the most gripping struggle of our age.

Now is women’s time, now is the time to weave this future together and is time to make the 21st century the century of women’s and people’s freedom!”
