Arab women in NE Syria have taken determined steps toward attaining their rights, becoming active participants in various fields of life, partners in decision-making, and pioneers in building a pluralistic, democratic society.

After decades of marginalization and restrictions imposed by patriarchal mindsets and tribal conservatism, the women's revolution marked a pivotal turning point. Their introduction to the ideology of leader Abdullah Ocalan and the model of Democratic Autonomous Administration (DAA) played a vital role in liberating them from the shackles of servitude and discrimination.

In this context, Iman Al-Ali, the member of the Tel Brak City Council , stated:

"The model of the DAA has become a source of inspiration for women all around the world. Arab women have faced many challenges and have overcome them with a steadfast commitment to achieving freedom and equality."

Similarly, Mona Mahamid, the member of the Democratic Union Party in Tel Brak, noted that Arab women have paid a heavy price to break the chains of bondage. She pointed out that the ideology of democratic nationhood and the philosophy of leader Abdullah Ocalan has provided women with a new awareness of their rights.

"We draw inspiration from the struggle of the women who gave their lives for the sake of freedom, and we continue on their path until full equality and democracy are achieved,"Mahamid added.

Sara Al-Jadou’, the member of Kongra Star in Tel Brak, also emphasized that women's rise to leadership positions was not coincidental, but rather the result of years of struggle against injustice and discriminatory traditions.

 "Arab women challenged tribal mindsets and rebelled against customs that undermined their status. Today, they hold positions of authority and participate in all sectors alongside men."

The experience of Arab women in NE Syria demonstrates that true liberation begins with the liberation of thought—and that rights are not granted, but earned through struggle, awareness, and a steadfast will for change.
