{Raids, arrests, and digital restrictions… Report documents targeting of women journalists in Turkey
The Mesopotamia Women Journalists Association (MKG) reported in February an increase in violations against women journalists, emphasizing that press freedom and the public’s right to information face systematic targeting.
Amed — The media landscape in Turkey is witnessing a noticeable rise in violations against journalists amid growing restrictions on freedom of expression and the journalistic working environment. Reports indicate that journalists are facing raids, arrests, digital restrictions, and field assaults that hinder them from carrying out their work. The Mesopotamia Women Journalists Association (MKG) released its February report on human rights violations against women journalists, emphasizing that journalists’ right to report news and the public’s right to access information are being “systematically targeted.” The report drew attention to the increasing pressure and violations faced by women journalists while performing their duties and warned of their impact on media freedom and the safe flow of information to the public. The report highlighted violations faced by journalists during February, noting that throughout the month journalists experienced home raids, detentions, arrests, physical assaults, obstruction and ill-treatment in the field, criminalization through legal procedures, and restrictions on access to digital space. While the public role of journalism was suppressed through security policies and a climate of impunity, journalists were targeted in multiple ways, either because of their professional activities or because of their identity as women.
“Journalism is being criminalized”
The report noted that operations targeting free and opposition journalism effectively obstruct news coverage and also target journalists’ workplaces. It stated that criminalizing media workplaces and restricting journalists’ visibility on digital platforms is not only an attack on journalists but also a violation of the public’s right to access the truth. Such practices, aimed at silencing women journalists and suppressing their voices, narrow the democratic public space and make access to truth more difficult.
“Targeting women journalists”
The report stressed that journalism is not a crime, and that following news, taking photographs, conveying information for the public interest, documenting events on the ground, and publishing them are essential elements of freedom of expression and press freedom. It emphasized that targeting women journalists constitutes a serious violation of their rights to equal citizenship, freedom of expression, and the principles of democratic society. The report called for an end to detention, arrest, prosecution, and violent practices against journalists. It also urged effective investigations into law enforcement interference and mistreatment that hinder journalists’ work in the field and warned against protecting perpetrators through impunity. The association demanded an immediate halt to digital censorship practices, the removal of restrictions on access to news content and media accounts to guarantee freedom of expression, and the lifting of all limitations on press and expression freedoms in line with international human rights standards. The association reaffirmed in its report that it will continue to stand with journalists to expose human rights violations and strengthen solidarity, stating: “We will continue to stand with journalists to make human rights violations visible and to strengthen solidarity.”
Raids and detentions
According to the report’s statistics, authorities raided the homes of four women journalists in February. Five others were detained and four were arrested, while five women journalists were subjected to ill-treatment. The report emphasized that women journalists are targeted in multiple ways, either because of their work or because they are women. The report added that two journalists faced investigations in February, with charges filed against one of them. Three journalists were penalized, receiving 18-day suspended prison sentences and a fine of 1,800 Turkish lira. There are currently 12 ongoing cases involving 14 individuals, while five journalists remain in prison. It also stated that journalists were beaten, obstructed, and mistreated in the field throughout February. On February 1, police intervened to prevent journalists from covering the Rojava Solidarity Day march in Ankara. On February 13, Sevim Saylam, a correspondent for Evrensel newspaper covering a collective bargaining process for the Çankaya Municipality in Ankara, was obstructed and mistreated. The report noted that on February 3, Turkish police raided the ETHA News Agency in Istanbul, confiscated equipment, and arrested several journalists. A few days later, the agency’s editors Nadia Gurbuz and Pinar Gayip, as well as journalist Elif Bayburt, were arrested. It also reported that messages and books sent by MKG members in solidarity with ETHA journalists were returned on February 23 under the pretext that the shipment was “not accepted.” According to the report, eight websites and seven social media accounts were blocked during the past month, including the Mesopotamia News Agency WhatsApp channel. Access to the agency’s accounts, as well as the Yeni Yaşam and JINNEWS accounts on X, was restricted. The agency’s YouTube channel was closed and its TikTok account was also blocked. Under the heading “List of Detained Journalists,” the report listed the following names: Elif Bayburt (ETHA), Khadija Duman (Atılım Gazetesi), Nadia Gurbuz (ETHA), Ozden Kenik (TRT), and Pinar Gayip (ETHA).} Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/raids-arrests-and-digital-restrictions-report-documents-targeting-of-women-journalists-in-turkey-38714

{Shno Mehrborur: Unity Today is Not an Option but a National Necessity
Journalist Shno Mehrborur stressed that Eastern Kurdistan faces a critical phase, where unity is not optional but a national necessity to protect Kurdish rights, existence, and survival.
Koya — Eastern Kurdistan is witnessing a politically sensitive phase, where internal developments in Iran intersect with the growing Kurdish demands for freedom and justice. Amid this tense landscape, calls for strengthening unity among Kurdish political forces have intensified. In response, five Kurdish political forces in Eastern Kurdistan—the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK), Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), Iranian Kurdistan Democratic Party (HDKA), Kurdistan Struggle League, and Iranian Kurdistan Workers’ Organization—announced a union forming an alliance of significant importance at this stage. This convergence aims to establish a unified political framework and joint program for Iran’s future, enabling these parties to adopt a common vision and position on national and ethnic issues. Journalist Shno Mehrborur highlighted that the current stage requires unprecedented national cohesion, emphasizing that unity is no longer merely a political option but an existential necessity to protect the Kurdish people and their rights. She stated, “In Eastern Kurdistan, the struggle is not only political. This union has an important impact, especially in this sensitive phase. Unity is not just a choice but a national necessity. During past attacks on Rojava and the Iranian attacks on Eastern Kurdistan, all Kurds united with one voice, showing solidarity. Kurdistan has always sacrificed for freedom, past and present, and the dream of freedom has always remained.” Mehrborur stressed that Kurdish struggle is also about dignity and the right to live freely. “This cohesion has often forced enemies to retreat, and currently, it sends an important message that can gain wide support across the four parts of Kurdistan, particularly in Eastern Kurdistan.”
“Women, Life, Freedom Shook the Enemy”
On the Jin Jiyan Azadî Revolution, she noted that Jina Amini ignited the revolution, and the chant “Death to Khamenei” was raised at her grave, highlighting his decades-long oppression of Kurds and confiscation of their rights. She added, “The slogan Women, Life, Freedom emerged from Kurdistan. When a Kurdish woman from Saqqez was unjustly killed, the slogan became global and shook the enemy. Dynamic women were the driving force of this revolution.”
Historical Kurdish and Women’s Oppression
Mehrborur also recalled that since the founding of the Iranian Republic, the regime has been a major enemy of the Kurds. She emphasized that Khamenei’s death was considered good news, as he represented decades of repression, both inside Iran and in Kurdistan. The Iranian regime had labeled Kurdistan a “cancerous node to be eradicated” and implemented thousands of plans against Kurdish achievements. Kurdish women faced double oppression: as women in Iran and as Kurds in Eastern Kurdistan. She asserted, “Kurdish women have always been at the forefront of struggle. Women fight for gender and class liberation while prioritizing national struggle. Without achieving Kurdish national struggle, gender equality cannot be realized.”
Women’s Role Moving Forward
Mehrborur emphasized that women must play a major role in advancing Eastern Kurdistan toward a new phase. She stated that women should take responsibility and work collectively to confront violence, while Kurds must remain aware, as this is a transitional stage and Iranians have yet to experience true democracy. She concluded, “Since the era of Reza Shah, Kurdish demands have been suppressed. Qazi Muhammad, President of the Republic of Kurdistan, was executed b the same authority that Reza Shah’s father belonged to, which today seeks to regain power. Kurdish demands have been violated throughout history.”}  Source:

{Early Marriage Escalates in Yemen Under the Pressure of War and Poverty
Fawzia Ahmed represents the most vulnerable human face of early marriage in Yemen. Her experience reflects the story of thousands of girls pushed by war and poverty into marriages they never chose.
Yemen — War did not create the phenomenon of early marriage in Yemen, but it has reproduced it in harsher forms due to poverty, displacement, and insecurity. Its psychological, health, and social consequences continue to affect girls, families, and society as a whole. In one of the villages of Al-Misrakh district, south of the city of Taiz, Fawzia Ahmed stands at the threshold of her memories, recalling a defining moment that completely changed the course of her life. She had not yet turned fourteen when she was forced to move from the playground to the marital home.
Fawzia Ahmed (22) says briefly, summarizing years of harsh transformation:
“I got married when I was 14… and now I have four children.”
Early marriage was not a dream for a child who once ran after laughter and simple games. It was a family decision imposed by social customs and economic conditions. Suddenly, she found herself a wife, then a mother, and responsible for an entire household before her childhood had fully unfolded. In a quiet voice mixed with sorrow, Fawzia recalls that period “Suddenly I found myself responsible for an entire home… I was deprived of living my life as a child, deprived of education, and became a housewife. I suffered psychologically and physically.” Behind these few words lie the details of a long struggle: early pregnancy, continuous responsibilities, and pressures beyond the capacity of a body that had not yet fully developed and a mind still in formation. Today, Fawzia reflects on her experience with greater awareness and says: “The absence of education and the lack of awareness about the dangers of early marriage were among the reasons my father married me off early, in addition to poverty and difficult economic conditions, especially in rural areas.”
War as a Multiplier of the Crisis
In a country exhausted by war and burdened by economic crises, child marriage has returned strongly to the forefront—not only as an old social tradition but also as a harsh response to living conditions that grow more difficult for families each day. According to statistics from the United Nations and the Yemeni government, about 52% of Yemeni girls marry before the age of 18, while 14% marry before th age of 15. The number of underage wives in the country is estimated to exceed four million girls. Amira Al-Sharjabi, a psychological consultant and behavioral therapist, says that the past ten years have witnessed a noticeable increase in early marriage cases, emphasizing that the war has played a key role in deepening the phenomenon. She notes that early marriage is no longer limited to rural areas or low-income families. It has spread across different social groups after the war imposed harsh economic realities on everyone. Fathers who once refused to marry their daughters early now find themselves under pressure from need and helplessness amid the lack of job opportunities and rising living costs.
Marriage as an Economic Refuge
Al-Sharjabi adds that the feeling of insecurity—whether economic or social—has been one of the main drivers behind the spread of this phenomenon. In an environment dominated by anxiety about the future, marriage may be seen as a “solution” that provides protection and stability, even at the expense of childhood and education. In recent years, another phenomenon known as “tourist marriage” has emerged, where some families or girls marry people from outside the country in search of better living conditions. Al-Sharjabi believes this type of marriage is closely linked to the economic crisis and reflects the scale of pressure some families are experiencing.
Deep Psychological and Health Effects
From a psychological perspective, Al-Sharjabi explains that adolescent girls have not yet reached full psychological or physical maturity. When they are pushed into marriage, they take on responsibilities far beyond their capacity, becoming responsible for a husband, children, and an extended family while still needing care and support themselves. This sudden transformation may lead to psychological disorders such as depression or trauma, especially when the new responsibilities coincide with potential health complications related to pregnancy and childbirth at an early age. The accumulation of pressures may also affect her relationship with her children and family environment, creating long-term social problems.
Displacement and the Worsening Crisis
The consequences of war have not been limited to economic hardship alone. Internal displacement has further complicated the situation. Families forced to leave their homes and live in harsh conditions have found themselves facing limited choices, one of which is marrying off their daughters to reduce the number of dependents in the household. All attempts to curb this phenomenon have failed so far, and a draft law setting the legal marriage age at 18 years remains stalled in the drawers of the Yemeni parliament. Al-Sharjabi concludes that war did not create early marriage but reproduced it in harsher forms and added new motivations linked to poverty, displacement, and insecurity. She says: “While early marriage may be seen as a temporary rescue option, its psychological, health, and social consequences remain long-lasting, affecting the girl, the family, and society as a whole.”} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/early-marriage-escalates-in-yemen-under-the-pressure-of-war-and-poverty-38705

{“The New Kurdish Alliance Is the Fruit of Years of Struggle and Joint Work”
Jalawij Berawan of the Peshmerga highlighted that uniting Kurdish political forces in Eastern Kurdistan is historic, essential, and, as seen in Rojava, strengthens victory and political influence
Koya_On March 2, five of the most prominent political parties in Eastern Kurdistan announced the formation of a new alliance aimed at unifying the struggle against the Iranian regime, seeking an agreement to address the fragmentation within opposition forces during this sensitive period. The agreement among the five Kurdish political forces in Eastern Kurdistan on a common national project represents a significant development in the Kurdish political landscape. The parties involved_Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAY), Kurdistan Free Party, Iranian Kurdistan Democratic Party, Iranian Kurdistan Struggle Organization, and the Kurdistan Worker’s Association have unified their visions within a single political framework for the first time. This initiative will allow these parties to adopt a unified stance and vision in Eastern Kurdistan, providing an alternative in the region and Iran, so that Kurds will no longer struggle with scattered demands or lack coherent projects.
“The Fruit of Many Years of Struggle and Work”
The agreement of the five Kurdish forces in Eastern Kurdistan to form a joint political coalition has drawn comments from field leaders. Jalawij Berawan, a member of the Peshmerga forces and cadre in the Iranian Kurdistan Democratic Party, described the move as a significant turning point in Kurdish political action: “Uniting the Kurdish ranks sends a clear message that Kurds remain steadfast in their rights despite the killings and executions they have faced.” She emphasized that the unity of parties across the four parts of Kurdistan, especially in Eastern Kurdistan, is necessary at this stage. She described last week’s agreement between the five forces as the result of years of joint efforts “The signing coincided with a wide-scale attack on Iran, putting Tehran in a sensitive position. The coalition remains open to other Kurdish parties and Iranian opposition groups to strengthen this political path.” Berawan also highlighted the role of the “Women’s Revolution” in Iran, which has faced years of repression and regained momentum in Eastern Kurdistan after the killing of young Kurdish woman Jina Amini by Iranian security forces over alleged violations of compulsory hijab rules. She noted that the core issue was not the hijab itself, but Kurdish identity, stressing that the Iranian regime has consistently acted against Kurdish communities. She underscored that the goal of Kurds in Eastern Kurdistan is to live freely and secure their rights Women must struggle for their rights and freedom as individuals, and for the Kurdish revolution and struggle.”
“This Regime Must Go”
Berawan pointed out that the slogan “Jin Jiyan Azadî” raised at Jina Amini’s grave and later spread worldwide continues a long history of efforts to redefine Kurdish identity. “Throughout Kurdish history, many women activists have played prominent roles in the struggle. The current movement continues what Jina Amini started. This popular momentum reflects broad rejection of the Iranian regime, with some parts of the street celebrating what they see as the regime’s declining influence after the recent deaths of several officials. She reaffirmed the importance of Kurdish unity across all regions “Previous experiences have shown that unity is a decisive factor in achieving gains, as seen when Kurdish forces united in Rojava,” highlighting the prominent role of women in the Kurdish movement} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/the-new-kurdish-alliance-is-the-fruit-of-years-of-struggle-and-joint-work-38703?page=1

{UN Calls on Iraq to Hold Killers of Yanar Mohammed Accountable and End Impunity
As International Women’s Day nears, the killing of Iraqi activist Yanar Mohammed in Baghdad sparked global condemnation, called a “brutal killing” by the UN, shocking human rights circles worldwide.
News Center _ As International Women’s Day approaches, a wave of international condemnation has followed the killing of Iraqi activist Yanar Mohammed in Baghdad. The crime was described by a United Nations spokesperson as a “brutal killing” that shocked human rights circles inside and outside Iraq. The assassination of Yanar Mohammed sparked widespread shock and condemnation, once again highlighting the dangers faced by women human rights defenders in Iraq and the region. It also exposed the ongoing challenges confronting their struggle to protest women and advance rights. On Wednesday, March 4, the UN spokesperson strongly condemned what he described as the “heinous killing” of Yanar Mohammed in Baghdad, noting that news of death deeply shocked human rights defenders both within Iraq and Internationally. The spokesperson emphasized that Yanar Mohammed had been a key pillar in the work of the UN human rights team in Iraq. The organization had collaborated with her and her institution for many years, considering her a trusted partner in efforts to protect women and promote their rights in a highly complex and challenging environment. The UN official urged Iraqi authorities to conduct an immediate and transparent investigation to ensure accountability for those responsible and to end the culture of impunity that threatens the lives of activists. Yanar Mohammed was widely known as one of the most prominent feminist voices in Iraq. She dedicated her life to defending women who were victims of domestic and social violence, establishing initiatives and safe houses to protect women at risk. Her continuous activism and courage in the face of threats made her a symbol of feminist struggle in the region. Her work was not merely human rights activism but a comprehensive humanitarian project aimed at empowering women, providing them with safe refuge, and defending their rights in a society facing complex social and security challenges. The assassination of Yanar Mohammed is not considered an isolated incident. Rather, it comes within a broader pattern of targeting activists in Iraq, particularly since the 2019 Iraqi protests, during which repeated assassinations and threats have occurred without clear accountability.} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/un-calls-on-iraq-to-hold-killers-of-yanar-mohammed-accountable-and-end-impunity-38702

{When Freedom Becomes a Price Paid by Activists with Their Lives
Bahar Munther said the assassination of activist Yanar Mohammed aimed to silence women, but those responsible failed to realize her voice only grew stronger after her death.
Sulaymaniyah_The director of the “March 8 Network,” Bahar Munther, stated that the assassination of activist Yanar Mohammed sends a clear message aimed at silencing women. However, she stressed that those who planned her killing failed to understand that her voice did not fade—it only became louder. In a country where political crises intersect with conservative social structures and campaigns of repression against feminist voices are escalating, women who speak out to defend their rights have increasingly become direct targets of violence, threats, and assassination.
Early Life and Education
Yanar Mohammed was born in Baghdad in 1960 into a progressive family that believed in education and freedom. Her mother was a teacher and her father an engineer, providing her with an encouraging environment for learning and openness. She completed her undergraduate studies in architecture at University of Baghdad in 1984 and earned her master’s degree in 1993. Later, after moving to Canada, she joined the Worker-communist Party of Iraq, which she later left in 2018. Her family had relocated to Canada in 1995.
From Defending Women to Building a Feminist Movement
In 1998, Yanar Mohammed founded the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq, an extension of the earlier experience of the Women’s Freedom League. One of the key factors that pushed her to champion women’s rights was the early marriage of her sister at the age of fourteen, which made the issue deeply personal as well as national. After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, she returned to Baghdad to begin a new phase of activism. She established shelters and safe houses for women threatened by domestic violence and so-called “honor killings,” led campaigns against trafficking of girls, and trained activists to confront violence and advocate for equality. She also appeared frequently on radio and television programs to raise awareness about women’s rights.
Shelter Network and International Recognition
Yanar Mohammed created a network of women’s shelters across four Iraqi cities, providing services to more than 870 women over 16 years. Her work earned international recognition, including the Gruber Women’s Rights Prize in 2008 and the Rafto Prize in 2016. She also met with around 30 detained women, offered them support, helped save one from execution, and prevented others from being returned to sexual trafficking networks. She later became editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Feminist Equality.” In 2018, she was included in the BBC 100 Women list. She also continued her studies at University of Toronto, where she wrote a thesis titled “Theorizing Feminist Struggle in Post-War Iraq (2003–2018).”
A Prominent Voice in Tahrir Square
Yanar Mohammed was one of the most prominent feminist figures in Tahrir Square during the protests of 2020. As threats of arrest intensified, she was forced to return to Canada. She strongly criticized Iraqi legislation, arguing that religious jurisprudence had been attached to family law, granting men automatic guardianship over children and allowing divorce without the woman’s consent. She also opposed easing restrictions on child marriage, which made her a direct target for extremist groups.
Assassination in Broad Daylight
At 9:00 a.m. on March 2, Yanar Mohammed was assassinated in front of her home in Baghdad by two gunmen riding a motorcycle. She had become a symbol of the Iraqi feminist movement, a courageous voice against violence and discrimination, and a leading figure in the Organization of Women’s Freedom and the alternative Worker-Communist political movement. Commenting on the targeting of women leaders and activists, Bahar Munther said: “Yanar worked for Yazidi women and for the most vulnerable. Women who struggle for women’s freedom are being assassinated.” She pointed out that despite holding Canadian citizenship, Yanar chose to return to a country where women are killed and their voices suppressed, dedicating her work to issues such as trafficking, child marriage, violence, and exploitation. She also played a central role in opposing the proposed Jaafari Personal Status Law.
A Message of Intimidation That Backfired
Munther explained that Yanar had been preparing for activities related to International Women's Day, suggesting that her assassination was intended as a threat to activists. A day before her killing, Yanar had spoken at a press conference about sensitive issues concerning the upcoming March 8 events and the situation of women in Iraq. She appeared to have been under surveillance. The attack, Munther said, was meant to intimidate activists and push them to retreat—but instead strengthened the feminist movement’s determination. Today, Yanar Mohammed has become a symbol of International Women’s Day, with special events being organized to commemorate her memory.
A Struggle That Continues
Munther also recalled meeting Yanar for the first time in Norway in 2003. The two collaborated for more than 22 years, continuing their work even when Iraqi authorities prevented their organization from operating for several years. “Yanar was proud of this support,” she said, noting that it contributed to her receiving the Rafto Prize. Munther concluded: “We have lost a woman filled with freedom and courage. We activists will continue demanding accountability for her killers. Those with backward mentalities oppose women’s freedom and their voices. They assassinate activists and journalists, but we will continue our struggle for equality and freedom. They will never silence the courageous voice of women.”} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/when-freedom-becomes-a-price-paid-by-activists-with-their-lives-38701

{Ramziya Mohammed Emphasizes the Importance of Women’s Unity and Solidarity in Rojava
Despite wars and attacks, women In Rojava built a unique democratic model in the Middle East based on freedom, equality, participation, and strong self-organization.
Qamishlo – The Co-Chair of the Democratic Society Movement (TEV-DEM), Ramziya Mohammed, confirmed that the unity and solidarity of women in Rojava are the foundation for protecting their revolution and consolidating their rights. She stressed the continuation of the struggle on March 8, until freedom and justice are achieved for all women. The model of democratic life for women in Rojava is considered a fundamental pillar amid the political conflicts and attacks taking place in the region. This model is based on the principles of freedom, women's rights, and strengthening social and political bonds. To protect this model and ensure its continuity, it is necessary to continue educating women, protecting civil rights, and strengthening political efforts. Women play a central role in political struggle, education, revolution, and battles for progress, making this model increasingly successful. In an interview with our agency, the Co-Chair of the Democratic Society Movement (TEV-DEM), Ramziya Mohammed, emphasized the necessity for women to continue organizing themselves. She began her remarks by congratulating women around the world on the occasion of March 8: “We congratulate all women and mothers on March 8. After years of struggle and resistance, we hope that March 8 this year will be a day of freedom and victory. Women's struggle will continue to make this day a symbol of protecting the Rojava Revolution. With this spirit of hope, we begin the activities of March 8.”
Consolidating Democratic Rights for Women
She stressed the need for women to organize themselves: “The life built by women based on the principles of their revolution—especially the women’s revolution—relies on protection, equality, justice, and the consolidation of democratic rights that have long been denied. Therefore, women must organize their ranks to ensure the protection of their rights.” Ramziya Mohammed affirmed that women play a central role in society and politics: “Women were deprived of their rights for many years and were excluded from politics. But the Rojava Revolution opened a new path for them. Through experience, organization, and determination, they have proven themselves in various fields of life. When women unite within a strong organization, they can confront attacks and the targeting of women leaders. Women’s organization is the key to confronting the nation-state system. With their will, women can change the global system. On March 8 this year, women must demonstrate their presence and consolidate their political and social rights.”
Women Present in All Aspects of Life
Ramziya Mohammed explained that women in Rojava are present in all fields: “The model established through the women’s revolution is based on a leading role for women, in which they have the will and ability to participate in all areas of life. Anyone who visits Rojava can see women in the streets and in institutions.” She added: “Leader Abdullah Öcalan was among the first to support the struggle of women and opened the path to freedom for them. When women take a leading role in society, their will emerges, and they can change politics and build a democratic society. The society of Rojava is a democratic one that allows every component to express its culture, and women and mothers play a fundamental role in protecting culture and language.”
Targeting Women Because of Their Leading Role
She continued: “This model differs from others in the region and the world because it builds a democratic society, recognizes the rights of all, and opens space for women's organizations. This poses a threat to authoritarian systems; therefore, attacks on this model are increasing, and women leaders are being targeted. We will continue defending them until the criminals are held accountable.” She added that these attacks greatly affect mothers and children. Authoritarian systems have not recognized women’s rights in constitutions and governance, which is why women’s struggle and resistance continue. “On March 8, we will raise our slogans to protect the achievements of the women’s revolution.”
Women’s Strength Lies in Their Unity
She pointed out that for women to freely play their roles in all areas of life, women’s rights must be included in the new Syrian constitution and protected through special laws. “The unity and solidarity of women in Rojava are essential. When this unity becomes stronger, the authoritarian system will change and begin to view women’s organization Women’s Protection Units (YPJ):differently.” She also drew attention to the global support for the unity “We witnessed how people in East Kurdistan and Iran took to the streets in support of the uprising ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’ (Women, Life, Freedom). Demonstrations were also held around the world in support of the YPJ, and participants affirmed that they stand in the same trench with the fighters and will not allow women’s voices to be silenced.”
She concluded her remarks by saying: “The future of the model of the free and democratic woman faces great danger. There are attacks in North and East Syria aimed at breaking the strength of women. To overcome this danger and preserve the model of the women’s revolution and spread it globally, women—regardless of their languages and cultures—must unite, support one another, and accept one another so they can secure the future of this model.”} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/ramziya-mohammed-emphasizes-the-importance-of-women-s-unity-and-solidarity-in-rojava-38699?page=1

{Joint Presidency... An Administrative Model Ensuring Effective Participation of Women in Decision-Making Positions
Since 2014, the joint presidency system has integrated women into decision-making, improving service quality, institutional work, and resource distribution justice for community needs.
Qamishlo— The joint presidency system, implemented since 2014, was not limited to the formal representation of women in municipalities but rather placed them at the heart of the decision-making process. It has directly contributed to improving the quality of projects, enhancing transparency, expanding the base of community participation, and ensuring a balanced distribution of resources and services to achieve justice among all segments of society, establishing women as key partners in local administration and planning. In the context of the political and social transformations that the regions of North and East Syria have witnessed since 2014, the joint presidency system emerged as one of the most prominent features of reshaping the structure of local governance, particularly in the municipal sector, which is directly linked to the daily lives of citizens. The adoption of this system was not merely an administrative adjustment in the mechanism of distributing positions, but a structural step that redefined the concept of leadership within public institutions and introduced the principle of equal partnership between women and men into the core of the decision-making process. From the city of Qamishlo, where the first municipality was established according to this model, the contours of a different experiment began to take shape on the ground—an experiment based on shared responsibility, enhancing transparency, and expanding the base of community participation. Over time, it evolved from an organizational idea into a deeply rooted institutional practice, reflecting a profound transformation in both administrative and social culture alike.

Berivan Omar, co-chair of the People's Municipalities in Qamishlo canton, stated that the joint presidency system, which began to be implemented in the institutions of the Autonomous Administration in 2014, constituted a deep structural shift in the nature of administrative work and decision-making mechanisms, particularly in the municipal sector, which represents the direct interface between the administration and citizens. She explained that in its early stages, society was not accustomed to a leadership model based on equal partnership between a woman and a man, after decades of entrenching the concept of individual authority linked to a single person monopolizing decision-making and responsibility. She pointed out that this transformation was not merely technical but touched the cultural and social structure that defines the image of leadership and its role in the public sphere. Omar noted that the Qamishlo Municipality was the first municipal institution to officially adopt the joint presidency system, and that the founding phase was accompanied by extensive debate regarding the effectiveness of this model and its capacity to manage complex service and organizational files. She affirmed that the success of the experiment was not achieved through administrative decisions alone, but through tangible results that emerged in the development of service projects, the organization of internal work mechanisms, and improved responsiveness to citizen complaints. Whenever administrative performance is clearly reflected in daily reality, the system becomes entrenched as a practical choice, not merely a new regulatory framework. Omar added that the period between 2014 and 2015 constituted a pivotal phase in establishing the rules of joint work, during which powers were precisely defined, and the relationship between the joint presidency and other municipal bodies and departments was organized. This organization helped transform the idea from an emerging experiment into a stable institutional practice based on the distribution of responsibilities and the integration of visions. It enabled women to genuinely enter decision-making circles, participate in preparing strategic plans, determine project priorities, and follow up on implementation and evaluation. She emphasized that women's participation in administration brought about a tangible shift in the nature of the relationship between the institution and society. Communication mechanisms became more open and transparent, and the presence of the least represented groups became more visible in the planning process. She noted that women in decision-making positions were able to include previously neglected social issues on the municipal agenda, expanding the concept of public service to encompass integrated developmental and social dimensions, going beyond the traditional view that confines municipal work solely to the technical aspect. Omar explained that the impact of joint leadership was not only reflected in the content of projects but also included strengthening integrity standards and internal oversight. The participatory work mechanism limited unilateral decision-making and entrenched a culture of mutual accountability within the institution. She pointed out that this balance of powers helped reduce administrative errors, increase the accuracy of decision-making, and enhance citizens' trust in the local administration as a responsible and accountable entity. The difference between individual administration and administration based on a joint presidency is evident in the nature of the adopted developmental vision. When two different perspectives are integrated, projects become more comprehensive and balanced, and resources are distributed according to criteria that consider the needs of all groups, including women, children, the elderly, and people with special needs.
From Skepticism to Trust... The Rise of Women as a Leading Force in Municipalities
Berivan Omar explained that the practical experience has proven women's ability to manage service and organizational files with high efficiency and to deal with daily challenges with initiative and responsibility. She noted that women initially faced social pressures and skepticism about their leadership abilities, but practical performance and tangible results were sufficient to reshape the stereotypical image associated with women's role in the public sphere and to consolidate their presence as an effective element in managing local affairs. She affirmed that the joint presidency experience contributed to creating a new societal awareness among women about their rights and leadership potential, and produced a generation more confident in its ability to participate in decision-making. She considered that this transformation is not limited to the framework of Qamishlo's municipalities but constitutes a model that could be utilized in rebuilding local administration throughout Syria by adopting more participatory and equitable approaches. Berivan Omar stressed that the joint presidency in Qamishlo's municipalities represents a practical model of inclusive and sustainable leadership that reflects the diversity of society and responds to its multiple needs. She affirmed that integrating women into decision-making positions is no longer a matter of symbolic representation but has become an administrative necessity to ensure the quality of services, enhance justice in the distribution of resources, and build institutions based on partnership and accountability, thereby laying the foundation for a more balanced and stable administrative future.} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/joint-presidency-an-administrative-model-ensuring-effective-participation-of-women-in-decision-making-positions-38697

{Iraqi women’s rights activist Yanar Mohammed killing spurs call for justice
Amnesty International decries Mohammed’s killing as ‘calculated assault to stifle human rights defenders’ in Iraq. The killing of prominent Iraqi women’s rights activist Yanar Mohammed has fuelled an outpouring of grief and calls for justice, with advocates from around the world remembering Mohammed as a “courageous” voice. Mohammed, 66, was killed earlier this week after unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire outside her home in the north of Iraq’s capital, Baghdad. “Despite being rushed to the hospital and attempts to save her life, she succumbed to her wounds,” the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, a group that Mohammed co-founded, said in a statement shared on social media. “We at the Organisation for Women’s Freedom in Iraq condemn in the strongest terms this cowardly terrorist crime, which we consider a direct attack on the feminist struggle and the values of freedom and equality.” Several international rights groups also condemned Mohammed’s killing, with Amnesty International on Wednesday decrying the deadly attack as “brutal” and “a calculated assault to stifle human rights defenders, especially those defending women’s rights”. The organisation, which said Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al‑Sudani ordered an investigation into the killing, also called on the Iraqi authorities to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice. “Yanar Mohammed … dedicated her life to defending women’s rights,” Amnesty’s Iraq researcher, Razaw Salihy, said in a statement. “The Iraqi authorities must stop this pattern of targeted attacks in their tracks, and take seriously the sustained smear campaigns designed to discredit and endanger activists.” Mohammed was one of Iraq’s most prominent women’s rights activists, working since the early 2000s “to protect women facing gender-based violence, including domestic abuse, trafficking, and so-called ‘honour killings'”, Front Line Defenders said. Her work included the establishment of safe houses, which sheltered hundreds of women experiencing exploitation and abuse. In a 2022 interview with Al Jazeera, Mohammed described her organisation’s efforts to support Iraqi women who survived violence at the hands of ISIS (ISIL), which had seized control of large swathes of the country. “Muslim-Arab women who were enslaved by ISIL and have not found a place to go back to, they are still living in the shadows of the society,” she said at the time. “Not less than 10,000 women were the victims of ISIL attack[s], and this femicide is not really acknowledged by the international community or dealt with in a way that keeps the dignity or the respect [of], or compensates, those who were the victims.”
Years of threats
Mohammed had been the target of death threats for decades, “aimed at dissuading her from defending women’s rights”, Front Line Defenders said. “Yet she remained defiant in the face of threats from ISIS and other armed groups.” In 2016, she was awarded the Rafto Prize “for her tireless work for women’s rights in Iraq under extremely challenging conditions”. The Rafto Foundation, the Norway-based nonprofit group that administers the award, said it was “deeply shaken” by her killing. “We are deeply shocked by this brutal attack on one of the most courageous human rights defenders of our time,” the foundation said in a statement. “The assassination represents not only an attack on Yanar Mohammed as a person, but also on the fundamental values she dedicated her life to defending: women’s freedom, democracy, and universal human rights.” Other activists and human rights groups also paid tribute to Mohammed this week, with Human Rights Watch describing her as “one of Iraq’s most courageous advocates for women’s rights” for more than two decades. “Yanar was a dear colleague and friend to so many of us in the women’s rights and feminist community, one of our icons. She spent her life standing up for women’s rights in the most dangerous environment,” said Agnes Callamard, secretary-general of Amnesty International. “She faced constant threats, but she never stopped. And today we cry and mourn her energy, her commitment, her profound humanity, her amazing courage.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/4/iraqi-womens-rights-activist-yanar-mohammed-killing-spurs-call-for-justice


Star Congress calls on women
Jinhagency - Womens News Agency - March 4, 2026
{Star Congress calls on women to continue the struggle for justice and equality
Star Congress stressed honoring free and fighting women, recognizing their sacrifices, resilience, and vital contributions across society. It affirmed that women’s struggle continues to advance equality, social justice, and representation.
Qamishlo — Women’s struggles and resilience take center stage globally on March 8, a day that has evolved from a symbolic occasion into a moment to renew awareness of women’s role in driving change. Across societies, women continue defending their rights and status, challenging discrimination and violence. On Wednesday, March 4, in the city of Qamishlo in Rojava, Kongra Star issued a statement emphasizing women’s active role in society and their ongoing struggle for freedom and equality. The statement read: “On International Women’s Day, we celebrate every free, strong, and inspiring woman. You are a source of strength, creativity, and leadership. This day is not merely symbolic, but a moment to appreciate women’s effective role in all fields of life and to remember that their will has always been a driving force for change and progress in societies.” The statement stressed that Women’s Day is an opportunity to renew recognition of women’s strength and patience. Despite the challenges they have faced, the path toward true equality remains long. “We cannot forget the female fighters who gave their lives for freedom and dignity, among them the martyr Deniz, who sacrificed her life for her principles and for women’s freedom and human rights. She was not merely a symbol of revolution, but a model of a woman who preserves her dignity under the harshest conditions.” It also praised “the fighter whose braid was cut by a terrorist as part of a brutal act of revenge against the spirit of resistance and an attempt to erase her identity. Yet she remained steadfast in her principles.” The cutting of her braid, the statement noted, became a symbol of ongoing resistance to injustice and oppression, and proof that women’s will cannot be broken. The statement further highlighted that women have not only endured but have moved to the forefront of decision-making in educational, health, and political institutions. It described the experience of women’s administration in North and East Syria as a living model of women’s participation at all levels of decision-making — from schools to local councils, and from training centers to leadership of public institutions — affirming women’s capacity for leadership, creativity, and initiative. Kongra Star reaffirmed its commitment to commemorating International Women’s Day while honoring the sacrifices of women who gave their lives for freedom and equality. “March 8 is not just a celebration, but a renewed motivation to continue working to entrench women’s rights everywhere.” In conclusion, the organization stressed its lasting commitment to strengthening women’s status — not as a slogan, but as a daily practice reflected in education, healthcare, politics, and social work — considering each step forward a move toward genuine justice that fully recognizes and secures women’s rights.} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/star-congress-calls-on-women-to-continue-the-struggle-for-justice-and-equality-38695?page=1


Women of Makhmour Camp
Jinhagency - Womens News Agency - March 4, 2026
{Women of Makhmour Camp Call for an End to Displacement Policies and a Dignified Return
More than three decades after being forcibly displaced from their villages in North Kurdistan, residents of Makhmour Refugee Camp — particularly women — continue to build a unique model of community organization and resistance.
Makhmour — Residents of Makhmour Refugee Camp, who were displaced due to Turkish state policies and the burning of villages in the 1990s, eventually settled in the camp after years of moving between different refugee sites. Through persistent work and collective effort, they transformed a barren desert into a livable space, opening what they describe as a bright chapter in their long-standing struggle. Women in the camp have emerged as a central force in protecting the community and preserving its identity. As calls grow to end the policies that led to the displacement of thousands of Kurds, residents — particularly women — affirm that their 32-year struggle will only be crowned by a dignified return. Regarding the return of refugees from Makhmour Camp, Layla Arzu, a member of the Ishtar Council Coordination, stated that camp residents became refugees as a result of repression and the policies of the Republic of Turkey. She explained that before becoming refugees, many had already established ties with the movement of Abdullah Öcalan in the regions of Botan and Hakkari. She noted that with the Turkish state’s policies of repression and what she described as genocidal practices against North Kurdistan and the Kurdish people, thousands from the Botan region migrated to the Kurdistan Region. According to her, these policies aimed to eliminate the freedom struggle led by Abdullah Öcalan and to complete what she characterized as genocidal measures against the Kurdish people. As a result, thousands of Kurdish villages were burned and destroyed, and many Kurds were killed or forcibly disappeared. Camp residents, she said, chose the path of struggle to free themselves from these policies of repression and subjugation.
“A Women’s Self-Administration System Was Established”
Layla Arzu believes that Turkish authorities attempted to use displacement as a tool to suppress and destroy the community’s culture and language. However, refugees redirected the camp toward organized struggle. She explained that since the camp’s establishment, residents have built a self-administration system based on collective and social life. Within this system, women hold a highly valued and central position, and a women’s self-administration structure was established as part of the broader social framework.
“With Every Step, Women Identified Themselves with the Movement”
Despite efforts to impose a patriarchal order on the local community, she said the society did not completely detach from its collective values. As a result, women were able to integrate quickly into the system founded during the early years of displacement, now known as the Ishtar Council. Women assumed responsibilities across all areas of life and gained rights corresponding to those responsibilities. “With every step taken by the freedom movement, women of the camp identified themselves with the movement,” she stated. The movement also implemented women’s self-organization through a co-leadership system in which women and men organize themselves jointly. “It can be said that a women-led social system was established in the camp,” she added. “Women of the Camp Paid a Heavy Price” According to Layla Arzu, camp residents organize themselves based on the principles of a democratic, ecological, and women’s liberation-oriented society. Despite repeated attacks and harsh policies, they have sustained and escalated their struggle thanks to the achievements of a women-led community. “Women of the camp paid a heavy price,” she said, emphasizing that current achievements are the result of those sacrifices and can only be preserved through stronger organization, greater determination, and shared understanding. “Organization Thwarted Conspiracies and Attacks” Layla Arzu pointed out that every policy targeting the Kurdish people and the freedom movement affected the camp. “Every attack on Öcalan’s model had repercussions on the camp, but residents thwarted these conspiracies and attacks through their organization,” she said, adding that Öcalan has taken what she described as an important step for the Kurdish people and humanity as a whole. She linked this step to the “Peace and Democratic Society” declaration announced on February 27 last year, stating that she believes Öcalan is once again attempting to prevent broader violence in Kurdistan and the Middle East through peaceful and democratic means.
“A 32-Year Struggle Will Be Crowned with Freedom”
She noted that the camp’s situation is being discussed within the framework of advancing the peace and democratic society initiative. For 32 years, residents have repeatedly expressed their vision for what the future should look like if their refugee status ends. Layla Arzu concluded by affirming that the 32-year struggle will ultimately be crowned with freedom, alongside recognition of Kurdish language and culture. Camp residents are determined to return, she said, and if that occurs, it will be based on the model developed by Abdullah Öcalan. “The determination of the camp’s residents — especially its women — is rooted in achieving a dignified return. First, the policies that led to the worsening refugee situation must end, and Kurdish language, culture, and identity must be recognized.”} Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/women-of-makhmour-camp-call-for-an-end-to-displacement-policies-and-a-dignified-return-38692?page=1

{“Women’s Solidarity and Self-Organization Reduce Rates of Violence and Femicide”
Women in workplaces are exposed to multiple forms of violence and abuse. Many emphasize that confronting these practices requires strengthening solidarity among women, alongside raising awareness within families and the broader social environment.
Helin Ahmed
Sulaymaniyah — The phenomenon of femicide has become one of the most dangerous social issues and a stain on the authority and patriarchal system. According to unofficial statistics, more than 53 women have been killed in the Kurdistan Region during 2025 alone. According to data collected by our agency, on February 26, in a mysterious incident in the town of Khabat, a woman fell from the old bridge and lost her life. Eyewitnesses reported that an argument had occurred prior to the incident between the victim and a taxi passenger. On February 3, a young woman was shot dead by her brother in the village of Tasluja in the district of Said Sadiq, in Sulaymaniyah province. The day before, a 35-year-old woman from Sulaymaniyah died after falling under mysterious circumstances into the Sirwan River in the Darbandikhan district of the same province. On the first day of the same month, a young woman aged between 18 and 20 was transferred to the emergency hospital in Rania but had already passed away before arrival, according to doctors. A gunshot wound was found in her head. During January alone, eight women lost their lives under mysterious circumstances or were killed. Some femicide cases are reportedly concealed and classified as accidental deaths or suicides. Cases of women being burned, or so-called “honor killings,” are also included within this framework. Violence against women in workplaces, in particular, continues to escalate steadily. There is a pressing need for women to organize themselves to confront these violations. Activists are urged to expand dialogues and seminars beyond closed halls into cities and towns across Kurdistan to raise awareness among both women and families.
“Violence Is Practiced Against Women in Workplaces”
Journalist Sazyan Shahid Talab noted that violence has reached the level of murder, explaining that circulating figures indicate women’s security and lives are at risk. “Violence directed against women has gone beyond abuse to reach killing, while official statistics are not confirmed by the concerned authorities,” she said.
Based on information gathered through media outlets, femicide cases are steadily increasing and have become a factor threatening women’s social stability and security in the Kurdistan Region. She added that violence against women takes multiple forms, including physical and psychological abuse. In workplaces, women face increasing harassment and violations daily. Violence manifests in harassment, psychological harm, and various other forms of assault, in addition to gender-based discrimination in work environments. Many women choose silence in workplaces out of fear of losing their jobs. However, there is a need to enhance awareness so women raise their voices when exposed to any form of violence and immediately report incidents to relevant authorities, addressing them legally within workplace frameworks. She also stressed the importance of women being cautious when choosing workplaces and professional contacts. “We Need Self-Administration to Enhance Individual Awareness” Writer Avista Faiq stated that violence rates continue to rise and that levels of cultural awareness vary from one region to another, contributing to increasing femicide cases. Targeting women based on misguided ideas, she said, contradicts human values. She explained that efforts such as roundtables, seminars, and meetings have been held to reduce femicide, but these activities often remain confined to closed spaces, whereas awareness must extend into families and communities. She emphasized that Kurdish women have historically been known for courage and resilience, and that awareness and struggle must not decline at this stage. There is no justification for violence or killing, and such crimes cannot be excused under any pretext. She pointed to the experience of women in Rojava, where women have continued the Kurdish struggle. Their heightened awareness has enabled them to demonstrate advanced levels of resistance. “In Rojava, women play an active role in administration and armed struggle in defense of themselves and their land within the framework of self-administration — a model not seen at the same level in other parts of Kurdistan,” she said. Although women in the Kurdistan Region have participated in mountain struggles, their self-organization has not yet reached the desired level. She considered the image of the female fighter an honorable symbol for Kurds but noted that the influence of neighboring states — Turkish, Iranian, and Arab — in Kurdish areas has left negative repercussions on individuals and reinforced gender disparities between women and men. Avista Faiq stressed the necessity of raising awareness through the education sector to build a generation more conscious of its rights. She called for moving activities beyond closed settings into families, cities, and towns across the Kurdistan Region, strengthening awareness of rights among women and families alike, and contributing to reducing violence through legal frameworks.} Video - Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/women-s-solidarity-and-self-organization-reduce-rates-of-violence-and-femicide-38691
