KJK to launch campaign against attacks on women

KJK's statement translated by ANF News Agency.

The KJK said: "Nine years have passed since the Şengal genocide, which took place on 3 August 2014. The whole world watched and did not intervene. The military forces of the KDP abandoned the people of Şengal and fled. First of all, we pay tribute to the women, men and children of our Yazidi people who were martyred in this genocide. We strongly condemn the attacks of these brutal forces against women and life. We salute the resistance and struggle of our Yazidi people to protect their existence and identity. We declare that we will always and under all circumstances stand by our Yazidi people and women, as we did at the time of the genocide."

The KJK said that they would launch "a campaign organized around the slogan ‘We are with Afghan and Şengal women against hegemon men's attacks" from 3 and 15 August, on the occasion of the anniversary of the 3 August Shengal Massacre and the 15 August Taliban's seizure of power in Afghanistan. As women, we must aim to develop an organized struggle in every area and moment of life in order to put an end to the massacres of women, nature and life, which are the work of the hegemon men nourished by capitalist modernity."

With this campaign, The KJK “wants to focus on the women's murder policies of the  men's mentality and make it visible. With this initiative, we want to be a voice for all women in the person of Şengal and Afghan women and shout out the crimes committed in the world. We demand that the massacre of women be officially recognized as a crime against humanity at international level. We call on all women's forces, organizations and personalities to raise the common struggle in order to make the world more liveable for women and to end women's massacres. Knowing that the just and legitimate struggle of the women of Shengal and Afghanistan is our own struggle, we call on all women's organizations to be a partner and support this resistance, which is carried out under difficult conditions. We believe in the absolute victory of organized united women's action and resistance against the hegemon's male system and its practices, which are organized in every field against women's struggle and resistance.

We call on all women's forces fighting on this basis to join the campaign. We, as women, state that the most correct answer to this brutality is the solidarity and organization of women, and we call on women all over the world to claim  accountability for the feminicides in Şengal and Afghanistan."
