The KJK (Community of Women from Kurdistan) sent a message of solidarity to women struggling in Colombia. The message reads: "We want to send from our hearts a loving and resistant greeting from Kurdistan, celebrating the dignity, energy, unity and strength with which the peoples and women of Colombia are carrying out their struggle with great courage street by street, city by city, neighbourhood by neighbourhood."

The statement reminds of the attacks by Turkey on South Kurdistan on 23 April and adds: "In Colombia, we are witnessing a popular revolt that, despite the inhuman repression, has continued strongly in its creativity and humanity as an indefinite strike. All this is not happening only to reject an unjust economic reform, but rather to rethink the future of the entire country, and we think of the entire continent: women in struggle in Colombia represent a spark of hope for Latin America and for the world."

The statement continues: "The virus of the war of the patriarchal states is what is killing the peoples and we think that more than ever now. Demanding justice, calling on the international community, today we join the cry of the thousands of feminist, indigenous, peasant, LGBT-I, Afro and popular neighborhood organizations to urgently end the massacre in Colombia perpetrated by the ultra-rightist Ivan Duque. Today we demand that the international community act to immediately stop the human rights violations, such as ongoing sexual abuse, disappearances and murders in Colombia."

The statement ends with the following remarks: "In Kurdistan, we have known for hundreds of years what it means to live a war. We share the same pain and the same anger, but what unites us more than ever today is not only the pain and rage, but the will and commitment to transform in order to build, against the imposed war, a free world: This ancestral force of freedom has united us. We stand side by side in the street defending ourselves as women as well as the entire population, walking with the example of the Indigenous Minga, and in memory of our sisters Cristina Bautista and Sandra Liliana Peña Chocué."
