Jinha - Womens News Agency - July 5 , 2024 - by BAHARIN LEHIB
<<'We will avenge Benazir and all the killed Afghan women'
<We will avenge Benazir and all the killed Afghan women,> said the relatives of Benazir Ayoubi, 21-year-old woman killed by the Taliban in September 2023.
Kabul- The Taliban have left no space for women and girls since August 2021. Afghanistan has turned into a graveyard of women. Thousands of women have been killed in the country due to the policies of the oppressive and misogynous governments for more than 40 years: Farkhunda Malikzada and Rokhshana were stoned to death and dozens of women have been burned alive in the country. On September 1, 2023, 21-year-old Benazir Ayoubi was killed by the Taliban in Kabul. Being only breadwinner for her family of five, Benazir fought misogynous laws of the Taliban. <Benazir went to a job interview. On her way back home, the members of the Taliban shot and killed her while chasing after a thief,> said her aunt, Parvin Estankzai, who works as a teacher in Kabul. <My niece was only 21 years old. Like millions of Afghan girls, she was deprived of education. But she did not give up, she studied economics online and completed her education. The members of the Taliban left her in the street until she died. A taxi driver saw her and tried to help her. He called her family members and told them what had happened.>
'They will not go unpunished'
The Taliban will never go unpunished for killing Benazir, Parvin Estankzai said. <As Afghan women, we swear we will avenge Benazir and all the killed Afghan women. The Taliban are the murderers of Benazir. We will overthrow the regime of the Taliban, the enemy of women.> >>

<<Project in Hasakah aims to solve water crisis
The Turkish state has been stopping the Alouk water station from pumping drinking water. The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) has developed a project aiming at solving the ongoing water outages affecting 1.5 million people.
Hasakah- The Alouk water station is a crucial source of drinking water for the people of Hasakah, Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn) and Til Temir (Tell Tamer).

On August 3, 2023, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, the Executive Council and the Administration Department of Jazira Canton developed a project into practice to solve drinking water problem suffered by the city of Hasakah by digging water wells in Senceqa Saadun and Kandor villages of Amuda, a town of Hasakah near the Syria-Turkey border. As part of the project, 20 water wells with a depth of 500 meters will be dug and six water tank trucks will transfer drinking water to Hasakah from a pool with the size of 5,000 cubic meters.
'The water crisis will be solved when the project is completed'
Engineer Zakira Welo is responsible for the water collection part of the project named after Senceqa Saadun. <This project was developed with the consent of the people of Amuda and the villagers. The aim of the project is to solve the water crisis suffered by the people of Hasakah and its villages. We believe that the water crisis will be solved when the project is completed.>
'The ongoing attacks affect the project'
Speaking about the ongoing Turkish attacks on the region, she said, <They target the infrastructure of the region and this affects the project. Human rights organizations should prevent the attacks so that we can distribute drinking water to citizens.>
'Our well runs dry'
The water crisis affects our life, said Şikriya Hisen, a resident of Hasakah. <We are left without water in hot weather. We dug a water well with our neighbor but our well runs dry. We have to buy drinking water but it is dirty. Our children get sick due to dirty water. We demand a solution for this water crisis. The occupying Turkish state causes this crisis.> >>

You have Law No. 6284 (Law No.6284 to Protect Family and Prevent Violence against Women). The Ministry conducted a study and prepared a guideline; however, those who prepared this guideline do not implement it. It is just a piece of paper prepared to show the position of Turkiye better to the EU.>
