Newa Women’s Foundation said, “We want to herald the good news that a women’s television called JIN TV will start broadcasting.” The foundation stressed that Kurdish women are implementing firsts in life, dedicated the television to the women murdered in Paris and called for solidarity.

Newa Women’s Foundation announced the founding of the women’s television JIN TV. The written statement issued on the matter pointed out that there is a process where women’s freedom struggle goes down in history in Kurdistan, the Middle East and worldwide.

The statement said, “JIN TV will aspire to make women’s labor visible in every area of life. Starting from the relationship between men and women, it will work on the relationship between women and children and men and children as well, as they affect societal life to the core. It will be questioning the foundation stones of society from distribution in the family to the criteria for democratic families.

JIN TV will say that the rut women are stuck in is not fate, will seek solutions to the issues we have and will aim to encourage women in these matters.

Our television will combine a multilingual, multicultural, multidirectional broadcasting style with the creativity of reason and emotion. Against a mainstream media that ignores diversity, it will be based on plurality.

It will make the invisible, ignored and diminished labor of women visible again. In the home, in the fields, in the offices, in the streets, it will stand with working women in any branch.”

The statement also included that the founding of the television network is dedicated to Sakine Cansız, Leyla Şaylemez and Fidan Doğan who were murdered in Paris.
