Qamishlo- The Joint Activity Platform of Women’s Movements and Organizations in NE Syria has announced their program for International Women’s Day, March 8 by holding a press conference with the motto, “Together we will defend our revolution and liberate our lands,” at the Mihemed Şêxo Culture and Art Center in Qamishlo. Riham Loqo, a coordination member of Rojava Kongra Star, made a speech on behalf of women. She said that they will celebrate International Women’s Day with the motto, “Together we will defend our revolution and liberate our lands,”

“We dedicate International Women’s Day to the women of NE Syria and all around the world, to jailed women, the mothers of martyrs. We commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for women,” she said in her speech.

Call to struggle more

Stating that despite decades of struggle, women are faced with all kinds of violence, oppression, and slavery by the patriarchal and oppressive mentality, Riham Loqo said, “The oppressive regimes, particularly in the Middle East, the occupying Turkish state and radical organizations have carried out inhuman practices in the occupied regions of Syria in order to break the will of all women in the world. Women played a role in the establishment of the Autonomous Administration in NE Syria and they have made a radical change in NE Syria with their own power.” Riham Loqo also called on all women to protect the revolution and to struggle more.

The program of NE Syria for International Women’s Day is as follows:

“* International Women’s Day will be celebrated across NE Syria.

*On March 1, martyrs' graves will be visited, candles will be lit and a statement will be made on behalf of the platform.
