The revolution has opened
Jinha - Womens News Agency - July 11 , 2024 - by RONIDA HACI
<<'The revolution has opened the door to freedom for women'
<The revolution in Rojava has opened the door to freedom for women,>
said the women attending the 5th congress of the Young Women's Union in
Hasakah.
Hasakah- The Young Women's Union held its 5th Congress in Hasakah on
Wednesday with the participation of 500 women delegates.
NuJINHA spoke to two women, who participated in the congress.
'The situation of leader Apo and self-defense were discussed'
The aim of the congress was to strengthen the unity of young women, said
Heyfa Bekir, Co-chair of the Youth Sports Organization. <The situation
of leader Apo (Abdullah Ocalan) and self-defense were among the issues
discussed at the congress. We discussed how women can defend themselves
and organize their society. Today, women have a powerful status thanks
to the thoughts and ideology of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan. For this
reason, the ruling and hegemonic powers have intensified their attacks
on women.>
'The Turkish state is afraid of the power of free women'
Heyfa Bekir continued her speech as follows: <The Turkish state and the
ruling powers target the pioneering women because they are afraid of the
power and thoughts of free women. Despite the ongoing attacks on
pioneering women, women say, 'Whenever one of our comrades is martyred,
we want to get revenge'. The Young Women's Union will attach importance
to self-defense activities because young women are aware of the dirty
policies carried out against them.>
'We want to reach all women in the Middle East'
<Young women proved their important role in the July 19 Revolution (Rojava
Revolution)> said Losnak Kavoriyan, member of the Armenian Young Women's
Union in North and East Syria. <The goal of young women is to ensure
freedom for all women. We want to reach all women in the Middle East by
building a free future in northeastern Syria. Thanks to the Jin, Jiyan,
Azadi revolution, women have their own identity and become aware of
their roles in their society. Before the women's revolution in Rojava,
women had no rights. The revolution has opened the door to freedom for
women. Women have become a role model for all women in the Middle East
by leading the revolution. Thanks to this revolution, young Armenian
women have recognized themselves and protected their social values.> >>

Raids in Idlib
Jinha - Womens News Agency - July 11 , 2024 - by SUHA EL-ALI
<<Raids conducted by HTS in Idlib scare children and women
The Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a Turkish-backed faction, raids homes,
tortures, kidnaps and arrests people to suppress possible protests in
Idlib. What is going on in the city affects women and children the most.
Idlib- Attacks and oppression on the people of Idlib, controlled by the
Turkish state and the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) keep increasing every
day. The members of the HTS, loyal to HTS commander-in-chief Ahmed
Hussein al-Shar'a (nom de guerre as Abu Mohammad al-Julani) raid homes,
arrest and torture people every day for defending the freedom of thought
and expression. The tent of Salva Alwan (31), a displaced woman living
in al-Bardaqli camp, was raided by the members of the HTS one night.
During the raid, her spouse was tortured and kidnapped. <All my spouse
did was to complain about the high prices,> Salva Alwan told NuJINHA.
<What we experienced was terrifying. My children were especially afraid
of what happened.>
They aim to silence people
The spouse of Meryem Salmo (29) was beaten, insulted, threatened and
then arrested by the members of the HTS, who wore face masks. <My spouse
did nothing to deserve such a terrible arrest. He always tried to stay
away from trouble. The members of the HTS use such inhuman practices to
suppress possible protests.> The spouse of Meryam Salmo has been held in
prison for five months. <My children are still afraid of staying at home
because they think that what happened would happen again. They cannot
overcome the trauma caused by the HTS. I have not been allowed to see my
spouse for five months.>
'Children suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder'
Intimation, raids and violence cause post-traumatic stress disorder
among children and women, psychologist Duaa Nur El-Din told NuJINHA.
<Such terrifying events affect the mental health condition of children,
especially children under six years old. In such situations, mothers
have an important role to make children feel safe. All kinds of
aggressive practices in Idlib should be ended to protect children.> >>

opportunities in the private sector persist, impacting the daily lives
of Iraqi citizens,> the center said on Tuesday. Nearly 25% of Iraq's
population, about 43 million, lives below the poverty line, according to
