The Free Yazidi Women's Movement (TAJÊ) is running a campaign in Shengal until 25 November under the slogan "With Jin, Jiyan, Azadî against violence against women". The planned activities were presented on Tuesday in the old market of the city in northern Iraq that was destroyed by ISIS in 2014.

TAJÊ spokeswoman Riham Hico said that the Yazidi women's movement invited all women in Iraq to take part in the "Jin, Jiyan, Azadî" campaign for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25 November). Hico said: "The 21st century will become the century of the women's revolution with the common struggle of women and the unity of the peoples. We are fighting for a free and democratic life."

Program of activities against violence against women

As Riham Hico announced, various activities are planned in the Şengal region. The activists want to distribute brochures on the subject of violence and a life in free partnership on the streets and use posters to raise awareness of the issue. In addition, seminars will be offered at various locations. A three-day training course is aimed specifically at men, while another seminar will be held for the Asayîşa Êzidxanê security forces. Other program items include panel discussions in Shengal and Mosul.

There will be a separate educational program for young women and a demonstration on 18 November. The young women want to exchange ideas online with other organizations and talk about Abdullah Öcalan's perspectives on freedom for women.
