Background

On 9th October 2020 Kongra Star, women’s movement in Rojava, launched a campaign under the slogan “No to occupation and genocide, we will defend women and life,” with regard that the day of the campaign announcement coincides with the anniversary of the Turkish occupation and its factions on both Serê Kaniyê (Ras al-Ain) and Girê Spî‎ (Tel Abyad).

The campaign will continue until the ninth of January, the day when the three fighters, Sakine Cansiz, Fidan Dogan and Leyla Soylemez were brutally murdered in the French capital, Paris, by the Turkish fascist State intelligence.

Kongra Star said: "Our campaign was launched initially to coordinate with all women’s organizations on the internal level (North and East Syria), to form a unified body that faces all challenges and difficulties, to raise the level of struggle and resistance, and to carry out joint activities in this regard."

Kongra Star added: "Because of our belief in the legacy of a unified history of women that is full of struggles to achieve freedom and social justice for women, women throughout the world made sacrifices, and it is necessary to mention what the Rojava Revolution (North and East Syria) which is known as the revolution of women, made in terms of sacrifices and achieving women gains, which returns these gains to women around the world, adding to the history of women a fundamental value in their struggle."
