In the battles around the Tishreen Dam, YPJ and SDF fought side by side with the peoples of North and East Syria. A new documentary film tells the story of this great People's Resistance.
Berxwedan Jiyane! Resistance is life!

Looking the enemy in the eye without blinking.
Facing the enemy without bowing down.
Giving courage and strength.
For the existence of one's own people.
For humanity.

Values that apply to every fighter for justice. Be it in the prisons of Amed on 14th July 1982 or today in Rojava.

We also recommend the movie "14 tirmeh" about the prison resistance in 1982, which is available with subnoscripts in different languages:

Statement of the Syrian Democratic Forces on the ongoing attacks on al-Sweida Governorate

Statement on the Ongoing Attacks on Villages and Towns of al-Sweida Governorate

We condemn the ongoing attacks and aggressions targeting the villages and towns of al-Sweida, which have led to the tragic loss of many lives and the burning and looting of numerous civilian homes and farms.
The repeated attacks on our people in al-Sweida, along with the continued harassment they face in their daily lives and freedom of movement, are deeply concerning. These acts represent a serious setback to the hopes and aspirations of the Syrian people.
We call for an immediate end to these attacks, guarantees to prevent their recurrence, and providing opportunity for national initiatives to address all issues in a way that reflects the will and interests of all components of the Syrian people.

During the current attacks against the Druze people, Fewziye Fexredîn El Şaranî defended her community in El Dor. After killing 7 attackers she also fell. We remember her and all fighting women and mothers with great honour, knowing that women's spirit of resistance is unbreakable.

Statement of YPJ General Command on the ongoing attacks carried out by the gangs of the Syrian Interim Government against the Druze people.

📌The rich culture of the Druze people is an inseparable part of Syria’s diverse mosaic heritage.
📌We consider these attacks a serious threat to the construction of a democratic Syria
📌We strongly condemn the illegal assaults that defy human ethics, as they target civilians, including women and children.
📌We, as the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to the wounded.
📌For the sake of regional peace and security, we call on all Syrian forces to resolve their issues through dialogue.
📌We remember the immortal martyr Fouziya Fakhr Al-Din Al-Sharanitook who fought till the last bullet defending her village
📌Without legitimate self-defense, there can be no talk of a free, safe, and dignified life.

To Our People and the General Public

📌As women fighters, we are fully prepared to stand against any aggression targeting the will of the people, the right to life, and the belief in freedom.

📌If called upon, we are ready to confront all dark forces that target women. In order to protect Druze women and civilians, we will shoulder all responsibilities placed upon us without hesitation. As the Women’s Protection Units, standing against attacks on women and oppressed peoples wherever they may be is not only our duty — it is the foundation of our existence.

📌Those responsible for the massacres committed against Druze women must be held accountable, the perpetrators must be prosecuted, and justice must be served.

📌We stand with the Druze people. Women will never be silent, and they will never bow their heads.

The gangs of the Syrian Interim Government have withdrawn from Suweyda.

This withdraw is a victory of the Druze people. This example shows that, as it is so often the case, when the people organise and resist, they cannot be defeated. The will of the people cannot be broken by weapons. Above all, the unity of women, especially against the mentality of killing that has emerged in recent days, is proving to be the strongest means of resistance.
We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and wish a speedy recovery for the wounded. Hand in hand we will work to build a decentralised, democratic, pluralistic Syria.

Statement of the YPJ General Command


📌 In the 21st century, Kurdish women shaped their struggle around the slogan “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî” (Women, Life, Freedom). The July 19th Revolution, led by women, was the crowning moment of this struggle.

📌 The July 19th Revolution holds great significance not only in Kurdish history, but also in the history of Arab, Armenian, Syriac, Alawite, and Druze communities. Syria can preserve its historical mosaic through the richness and diversity of its peoples.

📌In response to these attacks, Yazidi women led the resistance, and our people in Şengal took up arms and defended their dignity.
📌With the strategy of self-defense, the struggle of women will become an entrenched culture of free life, standing against the mentality of the state and male domination.
📌As the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), the struggle to liberate the women of Şengal will be our primary duty, and we will remain ready alongside the Yazidi community in all stages of this struggle.

Every shot fired by the YPJ is a shot fired in defense of dignity and life. Today, we remember other shots that were also fired in defense of life. August 15,1984, is known as the Rebirth of the Kurdish people. Despite all attempts to wipe the Kurdish people out the sound of gunfire proved and ensured their existence. But the aim in this imposed war was always freedom and peace.

4 years ago the Taliban’s took over Kabul. The Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) published a statement: "Let us sharpen the dagger of struggle against the Taliban-Jihadi plague and their American masters!"

Today the panel “March 10 Agreement and Integration Toward a Decentralized Pluralistic Syria", organized by the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) took place. The participants stated their readiness to provide the expertise they gained over the last years to establish a new Syria. Furthermore the participants emphasized that their is no attempt to divide Syria, even though the transitional government is accusing SDF and other forces to do so.

The guests stressed out that they believe in the strength of SDF and SDC and showed their support for SDF, SDC and the Autonomous Administration, knowing that they can play an important role for all of Syria.

YPJ Commander Newroz Ehmed explains that the Syrian interim government is acting under pressure from foreign forces. Many meetings with the interim government took place and agreements were reached but were blocked due to the intervention of foreign troops.

The Paris meeting did not take place due to Turkey's intervention: "Turkey's goal is to block a solution and reconciliation. Even if there are agreements,they want it to be fulfilled under the conditions they impose. It has to happen according to the will of the Turkish state."
