Hasakah- Mala Jin (Women's House) was founded on March 8, 2012 following the revolution in North and East Syria to develop solutions to the problems faced by women such as violence, child marriage, divorce, inheritance and child custody. Since then, Mala Jin has opened 62 branches across northeastern Syria.
On May 18, 2025, Mala Jin initiated training courses in Qamishlo and Hasakah, two cities of North and East Syria, to raise awareness among women about their legal rights and their roles in building a democratic, just and equal society. Women working at civil society organizations in 20 districts started attending the courses.
62 members of Mala Jin, women from the Serêkaniyê (Ras al-Ayn), and Weşokanî (Weshokani) camps and civil society organizations attended the 4-day training course held in the city of Hasakah to understand the charters of Mala Jin and Kongra Star, the activities of the Women's Justice Council and the Family Law that protects the rights of women and children in northeastern Syria.
“The training courses aim to build a just society,” said Nûra Omer, the director of Mala Jin in Hasakah. “The courses have been organized in the Jazira Canton for a month. The aim of the courses is to ensure that all women working for NGOs know the charters of Malal Jin and Kongra Star and the Family Law so that they can work better. The Family Law, previously known as Women's Law, protects the rights of every individual in society. Everyone sees Mala Jin as their home, describing it as a space where they can protect and achieve their rights.”
‘Syriac women understand their rights and roles thanks to Ashtarut Women's House’
Katrin Lol, a member of the Ashtarut Syriac Women's House, a women’s organization of Syriac women, was one of the women who attended a training course in Hasakah.
“Education is a way to solve social problems,” she told NuJINHA. Five members of the Ashtarut Syriac Women’s House have attended the training course in order to understand Family Law better. We need this training course to solve the problems faced by Syriac women. Everyone in society must know the Family Law.”
