<<Women keep working despite ongoing Turkish attacks
Hasakah- The genocidal attacks of the Turkish state on North and East Syria continue. NuJINHA spoke to Madlen Al-Ibed, Spokesperson of Kongra Star in Til Temir, about the recent Turkish attacks on the region. Madlen Al-Ibed thinks that the ongoing Turkish attacks target the achievements of the women's revolution in Rojava. <We will resist the attacks,> she said.
'Civilians, towns, villages are targeted'
Speaking about the recent Turkish drone strikes on North and East Syria, Madlen Al-Ibed said, <Our villages and towns have been targeted by the Turkish attacks and bombardments since the occupation of Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn). Civilians, towns, villages and civilian infrastructure are targeted by the Turkish attacks.>
<Our activities have been negatively affected>
Emphasizing that the ongoing attacks have negatively affected their activities for women, Madlen Al-Ibed said, <We started educational activities for women and for all groups of society; however, we have not been able to focus on these activities due to the ongoing Turkish attacks. We aim to have a democratic society and change the patriarchal mentality. Due to the ongoing Turkish attacks, we have not been able to hold meetings aiming to bring all groups of our society together.>
'The attacks cause an increase in the cases of gender-based violence'
Madlen Al-Ibed thinks that the ongoing Turkish attacks target women's gains. <The ongoing Turkish attacks cause an increase in the cases of gender-based violence. The number of femicide, child marriage and polygamy has been increasing. The patriarchal mindset sees these attacks as an opportunity to regain its power. These attacks target the achievements of the women's revolution in Rojava. These attacks are genocidal attacks.>
Madlen Al-Ibed emphasized that the Turkish state aims to depopulate and destabilize the region. <The Turkish state has cut off the water of the Euphrates River and this affects women and all people in the region. The Turkish state and the invaders aim to prevent us from building a democratic society.>
They keep working
Due to the ongoing attacks, Kongra Star cannot organize meetings, seminars and workshops. <But we keep working by visiting women at their home. We discuss the risks faced by women and try to find solutions. During our visits, we see how people react to the Turkish attacks. Our people have not left their homeland until now and they will not leave. There are thousands of women protecting the women revolution developed by Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan.> >>

<<HRW: Turkish attacks on NE Syria exacerbate humanitarian crisis
News Center- The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has released a report regarding the Turkish attacks on North and East Syria between October 5 and October 10, 2023. The report includes the information given by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) and civic groups. The strikes on more than 150 locations in north and east Syria in the governorates of al-Hasakeh, Raqqa, and Aleppo, killed dozens of people including civilians, and damaged civilian structures, according to civic groups. According to the AANES, damage to infrastructure caused by attacks that took place between October 5 and 10 impacted an estimated 4.3 million people in northeast Syria with at least 18 water pumping stations and 11 power stations rendered non-operational. <The people in the region, already facing a severe water crisis, now also bear the brunt of increased bombardment, exacerbating their struggle to get essential water supplies,> the report said.
Not first intentional attack
The report also said, <The October 2023 strikes are also not the first time Turkey appears to have intentionally targeted civilian infrastructure. Airstrikes in November 2022 also inflicted damage on densely populated areas and critical infrastructure. Turkey should urgently stop targeting critical infrastructure necessary for residents' rights and well-being, including power and water stations.> <By targeting critical infrastructure across northeast Syria, including power and water stations, Turkey has flouted its responsibility to ensure that its military actions do not aggravate the region's already dire humanitarian crisis,> said Adam Coogle, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. <People in al-Hasakeh city and its surroundings, already facing a severe water crisis for the past four years, must now also bear the brunt of increased bombardment and destruction, exacerbating their struggle to get essential water supplies.> >>

<<Women of Elih: We will struggle for our language and culture
Elih (Batman)- Young people showed great interest in the Women's Festival of Art and Culture, organized by the Sanatça Organization, the Confederation of Public Workers' Unions (KESK) and the Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions of Turkey (DİSK) in Elih (Batman) from October 21 to October 22 with the motto, <Jina Azad Hunera Azad/ Free Women, Free Art>. At the festival, many activities for children such as theater and musical performances and dance shows were organized. <We have been struggling to preserve our
 culture for years and we will keep struggling,> said a young women attending the festival.
'Such festivals have been waited for years'
NuJINHA spoke to some young women attending the festival. <A long-awaited festival is being held in our city,> Narin Erol said, <I thank all the women, who made great efforts to organize this festival. This festival is a response to the festivals held in Batman and its districts by the appointed mayor.
'We will preserve our art and language'
<All people of Batman know that many festivals were organized here before the appointment of the trustee. For instance, millions attended the concert of Ciwan Haco. Although this festival is a two-day festival, I think we will see its effects in the coming days. The people of Batman need such festivals to be organized. We will preserve our art and language.> Tuba Demir also thinks that such festivals should be organized more. <Our city, even this region, needs such events. While the appointed mayor often organizes festivals in our city, we are not allowed to organize festivals. This festival makes us happy. I hope such events will be organized more. Women and young people need such events. The Kurdish culture and values are targeted by the system carrying out assimilation policies. As a woman, I can say that the system will never achieve its purpose. Our people are conscious people who have paid heavy prices not only in culture and arts but also in many fields. We will resist the assimilation policies and preserve our values.>
'The trustee organizes only vacuous events'
<As Kurdish women, we always want to attend such festivals,> said Asmin Kaya. <Our people miss such events. We have been struggling to preserve our culture for years and we will keep struggling. As a young woman, I have attended many festivals but this festival reflects my own culture and language. The appointed trustee organizes only vacuous events.>
'We should unite'
Samya Aratemur thinks that such festivals should be organized in the city every week. <We should preserve our culture and language against the oppressive policies. Now, no one speak Kurdish outside; people do not teach Kurdish to their children anymore. Parents are the first teachers for children. Parents should teach Kurdish to their children. We should unite and struggle against assimilation policies.> >>
