In the course of the history of peoples, free media played an important role in confronting masculine authoritarian regimes. With the development and progress of the revolution path in Kurdistan and the region, the importance of promoting and developing free media, which represents the color and discourse of women, With the passage of time, the authority’s media worked to put all segments of society, especially women, under the influence of psychological warfare and the policy of genocide, to impose a state of silence. Therefore, raising the voice of women in the field of media is a temporary and humanitarian task. At the same time, organizing society from an intellectual and cultural point of view, and bringing it to the acquisition of free will is one of the tasks of a free woman’s media. To the extent that the voice and discourse of women is upheld on the principles and foundations of freedom and democracy, the same extent society will be able to attain the values of freedom and build the system of a democratic nation.
We, journalists in northern and eastern Syria, have found more than ever the need to build a joint organization, so after the third conference we announced the establishment of the Women's Media Union (YRJ).
The Women's Media Union was founded above all with the aim of delivering the voice and truth of a free woman to all parts of the world.
Women have a prominent and pioneering role in the history of free media, and the free media of women has so far made great sacrifices in order to show the truth, and in our region as well, women journalists fought a persistent struggle in the face of the war of annihilation, occupation, and invasion, sacrificing their lives to show the truth from dark to light, and to continue and the continuity of the inheritance of women who sought the truth, it is necessary to achieve solidarity and unify the discourse, so that as much as women are able to build and strengthen their organization, they will equally be able to play their leadership role in building the system and a free and democratic society.
Once again, we congratulate all women journalists on establishing the Women’s Media Union, and we say that the Women’s Media Union will be the voice of the revolution along the lines of truth, and will lead the vanguard of building a democratic nation system.”
