KJK: Let's work to achieve women's advancement

The Kurdistan Women's Union (KJK) Coordination Committee emphasized the need to transform "the 21st century into an era of women's freedom. Let us escalate the struggle to build a democratic confederal system and work to achieve women's advancement."

In a statement marking the 20th anniversary of its founding, the KJK said, "We commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Kurdistan Women's Union, this confederal women's system that symbolizes a new era in the history of our women's liberation struggle. We congratulate Leader Abdullah Ocalan, who united us in the struggle for freedom and made us relentless fighters for the philosophy of women's liberation. We congratulate all the women who participated in the freedom march and supported it with the spirit of resistance of 'Women, Life, Freedom.'"

The statement added: "Our struggle for democratic confederation began on April 18, 2005, and continues to this day, under the umbrella of the Kurdistan Women's Organization. We remember our female martyrs who made great sacrifices for this struggle with longing, love, and gratitude, and we renew our pledge to crown the free life for which they sacrificed their lives with the Women's Revolution."

The statement continued: “From the first moment that Leader Abdullah Ocalan began building the Kurdistan Revolution on the basis of a free life, he considered women the central axis of this struggle. When realistic socialism faltered, as it was unable to overcome the culture of women’s enslavement, our leader defined the Kurdistan Revolution as a women’s revolution and worked to consolidate it within this framework. The militarization of women, the theory of rupture, the project of men’s transformation, the ideology of women’s liberation, women’s partisanship, eternal divorce, women’s science, and free coexistence constitute the basic elements of this weave. In the land of the mother goddess, which was woven in the form of collective life, these motifs formed the inscriptions of the democratic confederal system of women with colorful embroidery.

The Kurdish women's Union, which is the title of our confederal system, has become a new stage in the women's liberation struggle against the culture of male domination that has extended for thousands of years. This means that the organized struggle has transformed into an organized level, as the women's system capable of eliminating male domination at the international level can achieve success to the extent that it is organized. The tangible meaning of this is the realization of the women's revolution in the context of building a democratic society. Leader Abdullah Ocalan highlighted the goal of the women's revolution by saying, "The collective democratic process is an updated state of mother-woman socialization, and only in this way can people reach social reality."
