Nagihan Akarsel
Jinha - Womens News Agency - Oct. 4, 2024 - by DIREN ENGIZEK
<<Justice for Nagihan Akarsel: The murderer said he had been assigned by the Turkish state
"At the court, the murderer said he had been assigned by the Turkish state. We must fight for the real murderers to be brought to justice," said Sarah Marcha, member of the International Justice Initiative for Nagihan Akarsel.
News Center- Nagihan Akarsel, journalist, academic, member of Jineology Academy and editor-in-chief of Jineology Magazine, was shot dead in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, on October 3,2022. The murderer was arrested at the last PUK-controlled security checkpoint at the exit of the city of Sulaymaniyah while trying to escape to Erbil. On December 24, 2023, the murderer, a Turkish citizen named İsmail Rasim Rifat Peker, was sentenced to death by the Court of Cassation of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. However, neither the public opinion nor Nagihan Akarsel's family were informed about the investigation or the court proceedings. In an interview with NuJINHA, Sarah Marcha, member of the International Justice Initiative for Nagihan Akarsel and the Jineology Research Center in Brussels, commented on the legal process of the murder of Nagihan Akarsel. "At a time when the 'Jin jiyan azadi' protests that started in Rojhilat Kurdistan, Nagihan Akarsel was targeted by the Türkiye’s state intelligence agency," Sarah Marcha said. "We know very well that pioneering women, particularly Kurdish women who have developed themselves with the 'Jin jiyan azadi' philosophy developed by leader Apo and Jineology, women's science, have influenced women all around the world. Therefore, the Turkish state and male-dominated powers and states do not want the women's revolution to develop and spread. The murder of Nagihan Akarsel was planned and committed to prevent the women's revolution."
'The murderer was assigned by the Turkish state'
Speaking about the International Justice Initiative for Nagihan Akarsel, she said, "The initiative was established to demand justice for the killings of pioneering women, especially Kurdish women, who fight for the freedom of the Kurdish people. The policies of the Turkish state and the occupying forces pave the way for femicide all around the world. This initiative was established by hundreds of women and many organizations to fight femicide. The initiative has called on international organizations to take action in order to ensure justice for Nagihan Akarsel. The murderer of Nagihan Akarsel was assigned by the Turkish state, its National Intelligence Organization (MIT). As an initiative, we demand the people and organizations behind this dirty plan be brought to justice." Sarah Marcha also recalled that the initiative had had a press conference last year and said, "We held a press conference about the murder case of Nahigan Akarsel. The murderer of Nagihan Akarsel stood trial in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We know very well who assigned the murderer; at the court, the murderer also said that he had been assigned by the Turkish state to kill Nagihan Akarsel. Despite that, no legal proceeding has been started against the Turkish state. In addition, the trial was a closed trial. For that reason, we cannot say that justice has been served."
'We must prevent such dirty plans'
The Turkish state has planned to kill all pioneering Kurdish women, Sarah Marcha said, recalling the killings of Kurdish women in North and East Syria, in Southern Kurdistan, in Europe and in Paris. "As women, we must prevent such dirty plans. Undoubtedly, Kurdish women are pioneering women for women all around the world. Not only Kurdish women but also all women struggling for women’s rights are targeted by the occupying and patriarchal forces and states.” Speaking about the murder case of Nagihan Akarsel, she said, “This case has become the case of all women. Throughout history, many women have been killed for demanding freedom and their rights. Women keep resisting although they are targeted by the patriarchal mindset."
'Women should raise their voices more'
States do not want women to revolutionize, Sarah Marcha stressed. "All legal and bureaucratic systems of the states are also formed to prevent women and people from getting their rights. Women should raise their voices more, become more active and show their stance against the patriarchal mindset in Kurdistan and all over the world. The initiative shares all information about this case with the public opinion. We also aim to reveal the murders of pioneering women in Kurdistan and all over the world. We say those who target pioneering women should not go unpunished."
International organizations have been founded by both governments and civil society to defend human rights and women's rights, Sarah Marcha emphasized. "Although the Turkish state is a member of the Council of Europe and the United Nations, these organizations remain silent against the crimes committed by the Turkish state."
'Neither the public opinion nor Nagihan Akarsel's family were informed'
"Neither the public opinion nor Nagihan Akarsel's family were informed about the investigation or the court proceedings," Sarah Marcha stressed. "As we know, İsmail Rasim Rifat Peker,was sentenced to death by the Court of Cassation of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in December 2023. However, no legal step has been taken for those who assigned this person. The trial was a closed trial. The same thing was experienced in Paris. Therefore, we must fight for the real murderers to be brought to justice."
Open letter to the UN and the Council of Europe
The initiative sent an open letter to the UN, the Council of Europe and the Iraqi government, demanding them to clarify the background of the murder of Nagihan Akarsel, to hold those responsible accountable, to take legal and political measures preventing further femicides and political murders. "As the initiative, we will hold online panels and participate in conferences and other international and national activities about the murdering of pioneering women, also known as political femicide."
'We must fight to bring the real murderers to justice'
Women lawyers make great efforts to bring the murder case to international courts, Sarah Marcha indicated. "We will see what steps will be taken. We call on all women lawyers, all women defending women's and human rights, women artists and academics to take a firm stance in order to achieve for comrade Nagihan and all pioneering women. We must fight to bring the real murderers to justice." >>

<<Yazidi woman abducted by ISIS in 2014 reunited with her family
A 21-year-old Yazidi woman named Fawzia Amin Sido, who was abducted by ISIS in Shengal 10 years ago, has been rescued and reunited with her family, Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Thursday.

<<Afghan athlete under police protection slams gender apartheid as 'crime against humanity'
FRANCE 24 spoke to Marzieh Hamidi, a former taekwondo champion for Afghanistan who has been a refugee in France since 2021, when the Taliban returned to power. In late August of this year, she posted a video on social media denouncing "gender apartheid" in her home country. Since early September, when she began receiving death threats, she has been under police protection. "When I saw that the Taliban announced that women are not allowed to even speak in public, I thought: it's time to invite everyone around the world to stand with Afghan women and also to fight against gender apartheid. So I launched #LetUsExist, because now in Afghanistan women do not exist," Hamidi explained, referring to a video she posted on social media in late August. "We want the world to recognise gender apartheid as a crime against humanity and against women in Afghanistan."
The former taekwondo champion went on to explain that her police protection began after a subsequent interview, during which she criticised Afghanistan's national cricket team for "normalising [the] Taliban". She recalled that afterwards, fans from the team "started attacking me on social media first by writing bad comments". She later received a call from a person "shouting on me and telling me: 'I have your address in Paris'".
Hamidi said she went on to receive calls from "Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, France, European countries and America", along with many explicit threats on her life sent to her on Instagram, which led her to turn to the French police for protection. Asked about August 15, 2021, the day the Taliban returned to power in the wake of the chaotic US exit from Afghanistan, Hamidi called it "a sad day for all of us. When I saw the Taliban in the streets, I said: 'How is this possible?' It felt like a scary movie," she recalled. "Still now, I cannot accept what happened." The Afghan exile noted that she has "received many messages [of support] from French people: president of the Senate, mayor of Paris, minister of the interior and also minister of sport". But as regards Afghanistan and the situation of Afghan women, she regretted that "people are silent, especially women in the West". Hamidi insisted that as human beings, it is "our duty to speak out for Afghan women and to be their voice because they are voiceless and in the prison of the Taliban".>>

The employees and activists of BATZAC, an anti-capitalist and anarchist organization based in Catalonia, calls for support to the "Freedom for Abdullah Ocalan and a political solution to the Kurdish question" campaign.
News Center- The employees and activists of BATZAC, an anti-capitalist and anarchist organization based in Catalonia has published a statement on their social media account, calling on all organizations to support the "Freedom for Abdullah Ocalan and a political solution to the Kurdish question" campaign.
'Isolation is a form of torture'
The conditions of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan in the prison island of Imrali are unsustainable, said the statement. "Isolation is a form of torture," BATZAC said, criticizing the silence of the international authorities against Türkiye, "Their silence shows that they are a party to this crime. In the prison island of Imrali, an aggravated isolation has been imposed on Abdullah Ocalan, who was sentenced to life imprisonment. For three years, he has been denied family and lawyer visits." >>

<<'The PYD is ready for dialogue with all parties'
"The PYD is ready for dialogue with all parties to the Syrian conflict because we care about the interests of the people," said Şerife Mihemed, member of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) Assembly.
Qamishlo- The Democratic Union Party (PYD) held its 10th Congress in the city of Hasakah, Jazira Canton of North and East Syria, between September 21-22 with the participation of 700 delegates, with the motto, "Together for achieving the physical freedom of Leader Apo, strengthening of the Autonomous Administration and building of a democratic Syria." At the congress, Perwin Yusif and Xerib Hiso were elected as the new Co-chairs of the party. NuJINHA spoke to Şerife Mihemed, member of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) Assembly, about the congress. We held our 10th congress despite the ongoing attacks, Şerife Mihemed said. "The PYD has maintained its struggle with strong determination since it was founded in 2003. As everyone knows, our party is a political party, but it also organizes activities, aimed at the organization of society. We elected our new Co-chairs, our 6-person board of co-presidency and our assembly members at our 10th congress attended by 700 delegates. Many issues were discussed and news decisions were made at the congress."
'The congress was a successful congress'
Women and young people play an important role in the PYD, Şerife Mihemed said. "The system of the PYD is a system based on a co-presidential system. The congress was a successful congress thanks to women and young people. They have definitely an important role in the party. Before the congress, women and young people held their own conferences. At the congress and both conferences, the physical freedom of leader Apo (Abdullah Ocalan) was emphasized."
'We are ready for dialogue'
"As the PYD, we are ready for dialogue with all parties to the Syrian conflict, including the Syrian government to ensure the unity of Kurdish people. We are also ready to negotiate with the Turkish state despite its ongoing attacks on us. We do not want war but we, of course, defend ourselves against all kinds of attacks. The PYD does not want Syria to be divided." >>

conference of the Jineology Academy
Jinha - Womens News Agency - Oct. 2, 2024
<<'Jineology will light the way of women all over the world'
Jineology, women’s science, will light the way of women all over the world, said women, who participated in the conference of the Jineology Academy. "Our aim is to spread the 'Jin,Jiyan,Azadi' philosophy."
Hasakah- The Jineology Academy of North and East Syria held its second conference in the city of Hasakah, Jazira Canton of North and East Syria, between September 25-26 with the motto, "Women's Wisdom is Updated by Jineology". NuJINHA spoke to several women participating in the conference. "Jineology is of great importance because it is a new science by women," said Orifan Abdi, member of the Jineology Center in North and East Syria. Leader Ocalan writes that women should rewrite their history and reveal their hidden truths in his book titled Sociology of Freedom (2008). We must reveal women's role in history and in society. We must do our best to take back the rights stolen from women."
'We aim to strengthen women through education'
Educational programs are an important tool to achieve gender equality, Orifan Abdi emphasized. "We attach great importance to education. Our educational programs on many topics such as gender, free-common life, women’s history and many more continue. We aim to strengthen women through education. When women get to know their true nature, they will bring a social change. Gender equality can be achieved by changing men's mentality. Jineology is one of the gains of the women’s revolution."
'We rewrite history'
"There is definitely a criticism of the positive scientific method that emerged at the beginning of the last century (referring to the early 20th century)," said Alya Osman, a member of the Jineology Academy. "We do not assume that we will find a new research method. On the contrary, we will rely on the legacy of science. We want to benefit from the experiences of women all around the world through the history of the Middle East and women's history and sciences. We rewrite history through Jineology."
Distinction between subject and object
Alya Osman also talked about the importance of overcoming the distinction between subject and object. "One of the methodological problems is the distinction between subject and object. I mean that every person sees herself/ himself as a subject and everything around her/him as a material object. This approach influences every individual in society, from the relationship between women and men, the relationship with nature. This leads to the erasure of identity for peoples and the deprivation of humanity from ethnic meaning and freedom."
'Truth requires evaluation from all sides'
Alya Osman mentioned the mistake made in the methodology of separating the sciences. "It is not possible to solve a problem without solving problems holistically. The method of Jineology is based on evaluation from all sides because truth requires evaluation from all sides."
'Women develop the reality of ethical society'
Alya Osman also said that they benefited from the thoughts of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan and the Kurdish Women's Freedom Movement. "Women are those who seek the truth and develop the reality of ethical society. Jineology is a science that will light the way of women all over the world. Our aim is to spread the 'Jin,Jiyan,Azadi' philosophy." >>

<<Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum sworn in as first female president
The former Mexico City mayor won a landslide victory in June elections to become Mexico's 66th - and first female - president. In a country beset by spiraling criminal violence, President Claudia Sheinbaum says she will use social policy to tackle crime at its roots. Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in Tuesday as Mexico's first woman president, inheriting a country beset by gang violence and economic uncertainty over controversial reforms passed by her powerful ruling party. To cries of "Long live Claudia! Long live Mexico!" the 62-year-old former Mexico City mayor took the oath of office and received the presidential sash in Congress, with foreign dignitaries looking on including US First Lady Jill Biden. Sheinbaum told cheering lawmakers that, for the first time, "women have arrived to shape the destiny of our beautiful nation," where around 10 women or girls are murdered every day.
She was later due to attend a celebration in Mexico City's main square as leader of the world's most populous Spanish-speaking country, home to 129 million people, which has had 65 male presidents since independence. Supporters began gathering from dawn on inauguration day, which authorities declared a national holiday. "We arrived at five in the morning," said Marta Ramirez, a housewife who came by bus from the central city of Leon.
A woman president "understands the people better," she said. US First Lady Jill Biden was greeted at the inauguration ceremony by Mexico's incoming foreign secretary, Juan Ramon de la Fuente. One high-profile absence at the ceremony was Spanish King Felipe VI, whom Sheinbaum refused to invite, accusing him of failing to acknowledge harm caused by colonization. In response, Spain announced it would boycott the inauguration, despite its strong economic and historic links with Mexico.
Popular predecessor retires
A scientist by training, Sheinbaum won a landslide victory in June elections with a vow to continue the left-wing reform agenda of outgoing leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a close ally. Lopez Obrador leaves the presidential palace after six years due to the country's single-term limit, despite an approval rating of around 70 percent, largely thanks to his policies aimed at helping poorer Mexicans. He bequeaths Sheinbaum the leadership of a nation where murders and kidnappings occur daily and ultra-violent drug cartels control vast swaths of territory. Spiraling criminal violence, much of it linked to drug trafficking and gangs, has seen more than 450,000 people murdered in Mexico since 2006. While Sheinbaum has pledged to stick to the outgoing president's controversial "hugs not bullets" strategy -- using social policy to tackle crime at its roots -- experts expect some changes in her approach. "It will be a modified version of hugs not bullets that will be more reliant on intelligence and therefore more effective at getting things done," said Professor Pamela Starr, an expert on Mexico at the University of Southern California.
Reassuring investors
The new president will also have to deal with the fallout from a row over newly passed judicial reforms that will make Mexico the world's only country to elect all judges by popular vote. Dozens of judicial workers demonstrated on Tuesday morning near Congress -- the latest in several weeks of protests. Lopez Obrador argued the reforms were needed to clean up a "rotten" judiciary serving the interests of the political and economic elite.
The changes, which critics argued would make it easier for politicians and organized crime to influence the courts, upset foreign investors as well as key trade partners the United States and Canada. Sheinbaum sought to ally such concerns, telling investors their money "will be safe" and pledging a "responsible fiscal policy." The United States, Canada, and Mexico "know that economic cooperation strengthens the three nations," she added.
Experts think Sheinbaum is likely to maintain good relations with whoever wins the US election on November 5 -- particularly if it is Democrat Kamala Harris, who would also be her country's first woman president. While there will still be "some tension and friction," especially over migration, both countries need each other and Sheinbaum is likely to be "much more pragmatic" than her predecessor, said Maria Fernanda Bozmoski, deputy director of the US-based Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center.

<<'Women must be determined to resist and not accept being commodified'
"Women must be determined to resist and not accept being commodified," said Azima Deniz, one of the executives of the People's Assembly of North and East Syria.
Manbij- "The Turkish state and Turkish-backed factions keep attacking North and East Syria, especially targeting women, by using many ways and methods. Sovereign powers have used the women's body as a tool to achieve their goals from past to the present," said Azima Deniz, one of the executives of the People's Assembly of North and East Syria, speaking about the attacks of the Turkish state, in cooperation with the KDP, on pioneering women both in North and East Syria and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. "Following the building of the caste system, women were stripped of their essence, subjected to gender discrimination, and seen as a commodity," said Azima Deniz, stressing that sovereign powers keep implementing this system to attack women. Azima Deniz also mentioned the analysis of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan on women. "Leader Apo says that a country cannot be free unless the women are free. The Turkish state has carried out its occupational policies not only in North and East Syria but also in four parts of Kurdistan. Today, even Iran uses the methods of the Turkish state. Therefore, women should be aware of the policies of the male-dominated system. An honorable life is not measured by individuals, but by their bond to their country, history, culture, and ethical values."
'Women leave their mark on history by struggling'
Sovereign powers do not want women to be free because they do not want their societies to be developed, Azima Deniz stressed. "The sovereign powers use different methods to distract women from their history and culture. Abdullah Ocalan is the only leader who values women and wants the 'Jin, jiyan, azadi' philosophy to come to life. In North and East Syria, women mobilize with the 'Jin, jiyan, azadi' philosophy and leave their mark on history by struggling. The sovereign powers use all kinds of methods to prevent this philosophy from coming to life."
"Women must be determined to resist"
Women resist the ongoing Turkish attacks, Azima Deniz indicated and concluded her speech, saying, "Women must be determined to resist and not accept being commodified. Women must stand against all kinds of occupations and keep struggling." >>

<<'Jineology aims to break down all the stereotypes generalized by the patriarchal mindset'
The Jineology Academy of North and East Syria held its second conference between September 25-26. "Jineology aims to break down all the gender stereotypes generalized by the patriarchal mindset," says Evin Ehmed.
Hasakah- The Jineology Academy of North and East Syria held its second conference in the city of Hasakah, Jazira Canton of North and East Syria, between September 25-26 with the motto, "Women's Wisdom is Updated by Jineology". In an interview with NuJINHA, Evîn Ehmed, member of the academy, talked about the importance of Jineology.
'We want to build a new life'
Jineology has many purposes, Evin Ehmed said, adding, "Jineology, women's science, also aims to change the patriarchal mindset that has been imposed on society for thousands of years. We want to build a new life by reexamining and interpreting history through Jineology because the history has been destroyed and ruined by the male-dominated system for thousands of years. Therefore, the Jineology Academy decided to reinterpret it."
It aims to break down gender stereotypes
The Jineology Academy has created a significant change in society, Evin Ehmed noted. "Jineology aims to break down all the gender stereotypes that are generalized by the patriarchal mindset in society, to establish a new system so that women can know themselves and express themselves better and have a free life. Everyone knows that women's identity is ignored, and the aim of Jineology is to redefine and revive women's identity." As an academy, Jineology, women's science, focuses on individuals, she stressed. "Eveyone knows that you cannot change your society without changing yourselves. You should first change yourselves to change your society. Education plays an important role in change. Our academy has strong staff because women’s science can be popularized in society by strong staff." Evin Ehmed recalled that the academy held its first conference in 2018. "At the first conference, many decisions were made and most of the decisions were implemented. The results of the first conference were discussed at the second conference. After the first conference, many Jineology centers and academies were opened in the region. This is a success for us because it shows that Jineology has practically fulfilled its responsibility. Building a democratic family model is one of the purposes of Jineology because families are fundamental building blocks of society and therefore a free society can be built when families are free."
'We want to define history well'
In her speech, Evîn Ehmed also commented on the impact of positivism on society. "We must build the Democratic Confederalism System against positivism. We must build a society based on the Democratic Confederalism System through the Jineology Academy against positivism and we must develop a stronger, better and faster theory." Jineology is a science that constantly renews itself, Evin Ehmed said. "We want to publish brochures and books on power, history and women’s science. We want to define history well through Jineology. If we define history well, we can find solutions not only to the problems faced by women but also to the problems faced by men and society." >>

"For three years, the Taliban have imposed many restrictions on women in Afghanistan, including bans on education, work, and social life. Women face gender apartheid in Afghanistan," said the activists in an open letter to the German government. "The Hazaras have experienced ethnic cleansing in Afghanistan.
