“We want peace not war”

“We want peace not war. Because war means more exploitation of our labor. War means the denial of our identity, the reproduction of discrimination, hate speech and racism. War means the violation of fundamental human rights such as the right to education, the right to health and the right to life,” Didar Gül said in the statement.

“We will build peace”

Women and LGBTI people decided to found the initiative after discussing “What kind of peace?” they wanted to.

We call on women and LGBTI people to be in solidarity with us in order to build peace together,” the statement said.
