Assemblies about the co-presidency system demonstrate the progress of women’s leadership. Finally, we share with you some suggested readings.

“The personality of peace is the most creative, the most courageous,
the most militant, and the most free personality.
Personalities who did not grow are prone to brutality, violence, and war.
The nature of women is on the side of peace.”

🔥For several days, militias linked to the transitional government in Damascus/Syria have been attacking the predominantly Kurdish neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud, Ashrafieh, and Beni Zayd in the City of Aleppo.
🔥Hospitals, civilian infrastructure, and residential areas are being targeted with heavy weapons in order to force the population to flee.
The internal security forces and the self-organized people have decided not to abandon their neighborhood, but to resist and stand up with dignity against the cruel attacks of the militias and their fascist, misogynistic mentality.
✌️Since yesterday, the people of North and East Syria have been on their feet to support the resistance in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh and to defend their model of a democratic nation.
✌️Caravans are on their way to Aleppo and people are showing their solidarity in many ways.
📣Kongra Star and Women Defend Rojava call on all democratic forces and women worldwide to give a voice to this historic resistance. Join the hashtag campaign, and spread our demands:
