The lecture was delivered by Manal Mohammed, member of the Relations and Democratic Policy Agreements Committee of the K Star, at the Cultural Center in Tal Hamis, in the presence of dozens of men and women.

The text of the lecture proposes solutions to the problem of violence, such as raising awareness among all segments of society, changing the prevailing male mentality, achieving gender equality, and achieving social justice for women.

In this context, the religious institution in the city of Amuda organized a seminar under the slogan "Religion is for equality and not for violence, women, life, freedom", which was attended by members of the institution in the cities of Amuda and Al-Darbasiyah and members of the institutions of the Democratic Autonomous Administration.

The seminar included two themes: the first dealt with the concept of violence against women and the factors causing it, while the second dealt with the impact of some customs and traditions and the status of women in the Islamic religion.

The co-chair of the Women's Council in the city of Al-Darbasiyah, Maryam Mohammed, discussed the first theme, where she spoke about women who resisted injustice and the patriarchal mentality and were killed in order to obtain their freedom.

"Struggling women have proven their presence in society in all political, social and military fields," she stressed.
