Rojîn Efrîn (Mizgîn Mamo), born in 1992 in Bilbil district of Afrin, grew up in a patriotic family. In 2013, Rojîn witnessed the exciting establishment of the Martyr Rûken Battalion and decided to join the freedom struggle. The establishment of this battalion at a time when the Rojava Women's Army was sparked in Afrin motivated Rojîn to join the struggle. Rojîn, who shone with her revolutionary spirit in her struggle against the dark forces, stood not only for the lands of Afrin, but also against the oppression of ISIS gangs in Manbij. By participating in the operation for Manbij, she showed her determination to spread the fire of freedom to wider lands. While her name echoed in the Manbij operation, the love for the country in her heart was felt everywhere. Standing shoulder to shoulder with her comrades, Rojîn, after the liberation of Manbij from ISIS, returned to the lands of Afrin where she was born and raised in 2016 and led the operation for Shehba.

Martyr Rojîn volunteered at a kindergarten for orphaned children before stepping into the freedom struggle. When she arrived in Afrin in 2016, her first stop was this kindergarten. The love in her heart turned into a great compassion for children. Her interest in those innocent faces not only touched their lives, but also touched the hearts of the society. The world views of the children were shaped by her affectionate looks and teachings. She continued to exist as a guide who saw the potential in each child and instilled hope in them. Her courage and determination in the struggle for freedom, blended with the compassion and love in her relationship with children, revealed the values she carried as a human being at her core.

They remembered once again what it meant to support each other and stand in solidarity while moving towards a noble goal. She attracted attention not only in the military field, but also in her artistic aspects. The verses she wrote allowed her to express her deep thoughts and feelings. She also had the soul of an artist who left a mark on people's hearts with each word.

She conveyed the power, freedom and resistance within women to life in all its subtlety. This powerful life of hers shed light on women's struggle for existence, empowering and encouraging them. With her passionate and determined stance, she added voice to women's voices and strength to their strength.

Reading Öcalan's book How to Live?’, she deepened herself even more

This book was a guide and source of inspiration for her. She would start reading the book every chance she got, travelling between the pages and getting lost in the depths of the book. Leader Apo's philosophical and deeply affecting thoughts would open new horizons in her inner world and inspire her. While reading this book, she also developed her own thoughts, beliefs and spirit of struggle; she deepened herself even more.
