A series of seminars in Colombia continues to promote the science of women, jineology.

Zilan Diyar of the Jineology committee and Alessia Dro of the Kurdish women movement joined the seminars and meetings organised in Bogota and Medellin.

In Medellin the seminar first commended the hunger strike being carried out in many cities in Europe, Kurdistan and in Turkish and Kurdish jails to demand the end of isolation against Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan.

The confederalism project was explained to Colombian women as well as how this model is implemented when it comes to Kurdish women's movement.

Kurdish women, who have reached hundreds of Colombian women from different sectors, between 15 and 17 February, are raising awareness about this unique organization.

Solidarity video for the campaign against isolation

The first event in Medellin was held on 15 February with the Afrodescendant communities. After the opening ritual, member of the Jineology Committee, Zilan Diyar, delivered a presentation on the experience of the confederal system of Kurdish women after giving a brief information about the historical, cultural and religious structure of Kurdistan.

The second event of the day was held in the headquarters of the five indigenous peoples living in Colombia, the Organization Indigena de Antioquia (a joint organization of the indigenous peoples of Gona Dule, Senu, Eyabida, Dobida and Chami, living in Colombia). First of all, women from indigenous peoples told about their struggles to protect land and water.

In her presentation, the jineology representative emphasized that the meeting of women's science with women's roots in different geographies will strengthen the bases of struggle.

Afrodescendant women offered a music concert. Participants prepared a solidarity video to protest isolation of Öcalan.

Jineology has the potential to answer to women

The seminar on 16 February saw the participation of 70 women from different women's collectives and was held at Casa Cultural el Hormiguero.

Zilan Diyar told that the experience of the Kurdish women's movement is a potential that will respond to the needs of women of the world.

The last of the series of events in Medellin was held at Red la Revuelta, a cultural center where different collectives came together.

Photographs of Argentinian YPJ Alina Sanchez who had lost their lives in Rojava, and photos of HDP Hakkari MP Leyla Guven were among the pictures of a large number of women committed to different struggles in Latin America.
