Makhmur- The Îştar Assembly in the Makhmur refugee camp issued a press statement to announce its program for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Reading the statement, Gurbet Îşlek, coordinating member of the Îştar Assembly, announced the program. She started reading the statement by commemorating those who lost their lives in the women's freedom struggle. “Many women such as Rosa Luxemburg, the Mirabal sisters, Sara, Sêvê, Deniz Poyraz, Helbest and Nagihan waged a great struggle against the patriarchal system and left a great legacy for us. As the women's struggle grows, women are subjected to rape, torture and torture. We are determined to expand our struggle for a democratic, equal and free life. The fascist Turkish state and its supporters have carried out attacks in our region to destroy Kurds and women’s struggle for freedom. The aggravated isolation imposed upon leader Apo has been deepening. Leader Apo has dedicated his life to women's freedom.
