We salute all resistant women and Kurdish women who rise from their ashes in Rojava as the Women's Protection Units (YPJ), in Shengal as Shengal Women Unite (YJŞ) and in North Kurdistan as Women's Defense Organization (YPS-JIN).

Women have taken over the flag of struggle in Cizre, Sur, Kerboran, Gever, Derik, Hezex, Şırnak, Nusaybin and other cities in Kurdistan. Women have fighted against colonial system and continued to write a history.

Sêvê, Pakize and Fatma used their bodies as a shield against the massacre policies in Silopi for self-government resistance. ( Democratic Regions Party (DBP) Parliament Member, Seve Demir, Free Woman Congress (KJA) member, Fatma Uyar, and Silopi People's Assembly Co-Chair, Pakize Nayır were killed in the Silopi district of Şırnak on January 4).
