NEWS CENTER - Women around the world sent a message of solidarity with Kurdish women through the Free Women's Congress (KJA) with the occasion of March 8, International Women's Day. They said, "Every time one falls, we all fall. But we will continue to rise, we will continue to love"
The message reads; Today on the 8th day of March, we send our embrace, our support and our admiration to the Kongreya Jinen Azad (Free Women's Congress) and to all the Kurdish women who are fighting for humanity, even though humanity doesn't know it. They are giving up their own lives in defense of all lives, in an act of love that we can only hope to live up to someday.
While the Turkish government pursues a policy of extermination and the rest of the world seems to look the other way, your struggle an your love, is a source of hope and inspiration in this struggle to change the policies and cultures of death that we inhabit.
To each and every one of the women who are fighting, whether they be on the battle front or in the cities and villages, on the frontlines or risking their lives accompanying, taking care, cooking, documenting, writing, supporting and participating in all possible ways. To all who have said enough is enough!: we send our respect and admiration.
To all those who are no longer with us, because they had to leave or were disappeared, because they were crudely murdered in an attempt to erase them, but they live on in your steps and in ours: we only hope to live up to their footsteps.
Every time one falls, we all fall. But we will continue to rise, we will continue to love.
