YJK-E issued a written statement on the occasion of 25 November, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

The statement said: "As Kurdish women living in Germany, we are celebrating 25 November International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women while the Honor Resistance is taking place in Rojava."

The statement added: "The Turkish state and its partner, ISIS criminal organization, with the support of international forces, are brutally attacking the desire for the common life of peoples and identities established with the leadership of women in Rojava. These attacks, which want to suffocate the women's revolution, make 25 November an even more important day of resistance for us. With the spirit of the Kurdish national unity, we will take to the streets with the slogan 'Women Defend Rojava'. While the massacres and kidnappings of Yazidi women in Shengal, and Kurdish, Assyrian and Armenian women in North-East Syria and Afrin are being carried out, we pledge to continue our resistance."

Rise your voice on 25 November

YKJ-E called on "all women to join the actions that will be held on 25 November."
