In 2018, Turkey attacked and occupied Afrîn, and in autumn 2019, Gîre Spi and Serêkanîye. In response, the Kurdish Women's Movement (Kongra Star) called for international support.
Since then, the campaign Women Defend Rojava gathers many internationalist solidarity activities with the Women's Revolution and the people of Rojava.

For 5 years we have been organizing in more than 36 committees around the world. We have marched and took actions, we have published leaflets, books and dossiers, we have organized education, information events and delegations.

Today again, the people of Syria and the whole Middle East are under attack. At a time when the destruction by capitalist patriarchy is intensifying and war is spreading all over the world Islamist gangs, fed by the Turkish state, are terrorizing the people and continuing the policies of genocide and feminicide. This are attacks against Rojava. This are attacks against our hope for peace in the Middle East.
In Rojava, the women's revolution lives on and the construction of a democratic society is taking place. In the areas of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, people of different ethnic, religious and political groups live together and organize their daily life according to their needs. This was made possible through a long struggle with many sacrifice. In 2015, the Women’s and People's Protection Units (YPG/YPJ) defeated ISIS in Kobanê. In 2019 the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) liberated Raqqa from the Islamist dictatorship of ISIS. Now the SDF and the YPG/YPJ have to fight once more against the Islamist gangs and imperialist plans in Aleppo, Sheba, Manbij and North and East Syria.

It is time to take action.
It is time to strengthen our networks of rebellion.
It is time to defend Rojava!

Here a factsheet from Kongra Star concerning the current humanitarian Crisis in North and East Syria after Attacks on Aleppo and Shehba.

https://womendefendrojava.net/en/2024/12/10/fact-sheet-humanitarian-crisis-in-north-and-east-syria-after-attacks-on-aleppo-and-shehba-2/

On 27 November, Islamist-Jihadist groups launched an offensive on Aleppo. On 8 December, the Assad government was overthrown. These Turkish backed forces aim to overrun and destroy the Kurdish and multi-ethnic DAANES. The current attacks on Tel Rifat, Shahba & Manbij prove this.

💥 Today several imperialist powers are fighting over a new hegemonic order in the Middle East, playing out their dirty game in Syria today. Simultaneously our democratic forces of SDF, YPG & YPJ are leading a determined struggle promising not to give up on victory.

🔴 Starting today, our live updates will provide information, analysis & calls for action on the current situation of war, geopolitical reordering and our common struggle for peace and democracy.

Kobane is under attack: Take action and defend the Women's Revolution

In the last days the fascist Turkish state is intensifiying it's attacks on Rojava and especially on Kobanê. Erdogans goal is not just to gain territory, but to destroy our visions of socializm, women's liberation and the unity of the people. This is why Kobane is a strategical target for him. We must remember that Kobane is the symbol of the Women's Revolution, and according to this we have to strengthen our struggle.

Let's resist with the self-sacrificing and powerful spirit of Şehîd Arîn Mîrkan until victory!

BIJÎ BERXWEDANA KOBANÊ🔥
