SHERIN MUHEI DIN – STERA NABI / KOBANI

The 40-year-old mother Adla Mohammed Haidar has 8 children, 6 of whom are females and 2 males. Her eldest daughter, 13, Adla married 15 years ago in Manbij.

In 2013 IS mercenaries had occupied Manbij city and arrested her husband. The mother tried hard to know her husband's news, but the mercenaries did not provide any information about him. After that, the mother Adla moved with her children to live in Kobani.

Adla recounted her story: "After my husband was arrested, I did not accept the submission to ISIS mercenaries, and as the departure from the areas they occupied was not allowed, so I leaved Manbij city without their attention and decided to go to "Kobani" the city of the heroes."

But after going to Kobani city, her daughter did not bear separation of her father, and died, so Adla's suffering has been increased, and she began the sewing career to support her family without the need of anyone.

The smile does not leave the lips of the mother Adla and bear the difficult conditions of life for the sake of her children who do not want to see their mother sad.

"From my childhood, I had heard the instructions of the leader of the Kurdish people, Abdullah Ocalan, about the fighting woman. Today I consider myself one of these women, and without his ideology, I would not have tolerated the harsh conditions," she said. .

"I hope all the women who continue to suffer injustice to revolt against injustice, we can change the whole world," Adla said at the end of her speech.
