hi,
I spent last days reading and studying the kurdish female fighters and their
efforts to built an independent equal and just state in north east syria… i am
a pacifist in my deepest structure but have been challanged and confused by
what is happening there… if you need to read up look for hashtags #Rojava
any thoughts ?
(i find this article a good sum up)

"I recently spoke to someone from the Kurdish women’s movement in Rojava and
asked what they need most. She said they need a massive international
solidarity campaign, beginning with political education about the evolution of
the PKK and its politics, including its emphasis on democratic governance,
anti-sectarianism, secularism, ecology, and women’s liberation. In practical
terms, they need all possible international pressure to be put on Turkey and
the KRG to end the embargo and let supplies through. They need the terrorist
designation to be lifted so they can travel and raise money and do public
speaking."
some more…
