“The Jienology Research Center held a conference in the camp for the first time. And, the workshops lasted two months,” said Xurbet Îşlek, one of the women participating in the conference. “At the workshops, we discussed the impacts of displacement on women, ecology, sexism, Kurdish culture, and social problems. At the conference, the results of the discussions during the workshops were evaluated.”

‘Our aim is to find solutions to the problems faced by women’

We will respond strongly to all kinds of attacks against women, Xurbet Îşlek added. “At the conference, the problems faced by women were discussed. We hope that the decisions taken at the conference will be implemented in a short time. Our aim is to find solutions to the problems faced by women. If we, as women, do not solve our problems, the attacks against us will continue.”
