"I knew about Rojava revolution and the role of women in it through my activities in a British organization interested in peace in Kurdistan, there are dozens of women in the organization and through them, I know how important the women's movement is in Rojava and North Syria, so I was eager to come here to see what the woman has done here and how she can change the community and revolution here, and added, "I'm very excited about being here in Rojava, and I have friends of Kurdish women here," she said.

"In fact, the whole world is talking about the courage of Kurdish woman, I am a European parliamentarian interested in gender equality, I am interested in women's rights, I always call for freedom and extended rights of women," said Julia Ward of women's resistance in Rojava and North Syria against terrorism. And the echo of resistance in the world, I have heard a lot about the role of women in Rojava in the fight against terrorism."

"It's very exciting to get to know the management model here, the way I do, or let me call it the woman model," said Julia Ward. "This experience is unique and is not found anywhere else in the world."

The situation here is different: in Rojava, women defend themselves and have their own special forces, women defend their position and gain their rights to equality. The situation is quite different here, women manage all aspects of life, including the armed struggle, here lies only a difference in the experience of Rojava for me, and that's why I came here. "
