The Yazidi Women Union in Rojava issued a written statement condemning the Turkish occupation and its attack that targeted Haifa al-Arabo, a member of the Coordination of Kongra Star, in Southe Kurdistan. The union expressed its condolences to the martyr's family and to all struggling and revolutionary women.

Through the statement, the Yazidi Women Union reaffirmed its commitment to "the path of free feminist struggle."

It added: "Day by day, the Turkish occupying state reveals its brutality, fear, and hatred towards free peoples, particularly pioneering and struggling women." The statement pointed out that Turkey seeks by all means to undermine the will and determination of struggling women in an attempt to weaken societies and dismantle their foundations, which are built on justice, equality, and democracy.

It further explained: "In Shingal, ISIS mercenaries specifically targeted Yazidi women, trafficking them with clear support from the Turkish state, the heir of the Ottomans, who have a long history of brutality and crime."

The Yazidi Women Union in Rojava condemned the targeting of Haifa al-Arabo, a member of the Coordination of Kongra Star, by the occupying Turkish state. The statement emphasized that she had played a significant role in organizing and raising awareness among women and coordinating their struggle for freedom and dignity, embodying the philosophy of 'Women, Life, Freedom' through her work.

The statement concluded by stressing that this crime, which adds to Turkey's record of atrocities, necessitates a clear international stance against Turkey’s actions, particularly from global women's organizations and institutions, to curb Turkey’s brutality and bring the perpetrators to justice.
