Hesekê (Hasakah)- Kongra Star Education Committee has organized education workshops for displaced women living in Washokani camp located in Hasakah. The aim of the committee is to reach all women to build a free and equal life.

15 women from the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and the communes have started a 10-day education workshop. Women participating in the workshop receive education about women’s history, criticism-self-criticism, culture and ethics, common life, natural society and nationalism.

‘Organization starts with women’

Education is important for women, said Nûr Xazî Osman, member of Kongra Star Education Committee, speaking about the aim of the education workshop.

“We aim to organize women, to teach them their history, to change their mindset so that they can rebuild a free and equal life. Organization starts with women. If women organize themselves, they can also organize their society because they are because women are the foundation of society. Through education, we want to reach all women and support them to rebuild a free life. Our revolution is a cognitive revolution. Women are the ones who will win in this revolution. Thanks to the thoughts and philosophy of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan, women have an opportunity to return to themselves, to learn their history and to build a free life.”

‘People need education even if they are a hundred years old’

Zibêda Oso, 57, is one of the women participating in the education workshop. “People need to learn new things no matter how old they are,” she said.

“People need education even if they are a hundred years old because education is like bread and water for people. We have learned the philosophy of leader Öcalan. His philosophy paves the way for women to unite, to organize and to strengthen their level of consciousness. I call on all women to improve themselves and learn new things every day.”
