Women plant hundreds of trees in Shengal

Members of the Yazidi Free Women's Movement (TAJÊ) have planted hundreds of trees in Shengal to mark the birthday of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan (April 4).

Shengal- Shengal, known for its high and majestic mountains, is the holy place for Yazidis. Not only the people of Shengal but also their natures were massacred in the genocidal attacks on Shengal. Yazidi women, who have been organizing themselves for eight years to build a free life and a democratic ecological society, have learned how to fight all difficulties. Yazidi women have gotten to know themselves again by participating in education programs and felt the warmth of freedom in their hearts. They have been building a communal life in Shengal with the warmth they feel in their hearts.
