With hearts filled with sorrow and pride, we bid farewell to two fighters from the YPJ, who remained strong and resolute until the very end. Their sacrifices will continue to shine as a beacon on the path to freedom and dignity.

A Message from Australia
We, socialist feminists in Australia, stand in solidarity with the freedom fighters of the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) who continue to defend the rights, dignity and freedom of women of all nationalities, ethnicities and religions that they fought for and won in the Rojava Revolution. Women’s participation in all fields, including participating in organised community defence and protection, is a right that must be defended. Recognising the YPJ and respecting its right to continue to exist in a new Syria is essential if Syria is to have a democratic, united and peaceful future.
The people of Rojava showing their support for YPJ
In Dirbesiye hundreds of people joined a Demonstration in order to support YPJ. Furthermore creative actions in Heseke were taking place.
The struggle women of YPJ have waged for over 13 years cannot be dismantled or ignored. Only by recognizing YPJ officially as a force of defense, this heritage can lead to a brighter future for all of Syria and the world. #WeAreAllYPJ

Solidarity from China to YPJ

YPJ is not only a force in the Rojava or Syria but is giving hope and strength to women worldwide
To all the women whose hearts beat for freedom
We, the Command of the Women's Protection Units (YPJ), from the land of Rojava, Kurdistan and
North-East Syria, send you our warmest revolutionary greetings. We are not just a military force;
we are also the voice, will, and consciousness of women who defend the light against the darkness.
We are the self-defence force of freedom-loving women. In this context, we call on all the women
of the world to walk together on the path of freedom, dignity and justice.
Our struggle against ISIS and all reactionary ideologies such as religious fundamentalism,
nationalism, positivism and sexism has shown that when women become autonomous and organise
themselves, no force can stand in their way. In Kobane, Raqqa and many other places, we defended
not only our land but also the honour of all women around the world. This struggle is, at the same
time, the defence of life and human values. We have proven with our effort and resistance that self-
defence is the fundamental condition for a dignified and free life.
Dear sisters,
Today, the women's revolution is passing through severe political and military conditions. Although
many peoples and societies recognise our struggle, the dominant forces and state institutions
deliberately refuse to acknowledge our political status. These policies of denial and leaving without
official status are, at their core, a continuation of the patriarchal mindset that fears the strength of
the autonomy of women and refuses to recognise it. They seek to weaken the will of women
through blockades and destruction; But our strength does not come from their documents and
statements, but from our resistance in the streets and from the trust of women. We state clearly: we
will stand against any policy that erases the will of women, disregards our status, or seeks to
assimilate us into the dominant system. Women's freedom is not given, it is taken; and this is only
achieved through continuous struggle, organisation, and the unity of women.
The oppression of women knows no borders. Whether in the Middle East, Europe or Abya Yala, the
patriarchal system attacks women's achievements in different ways. From the murder of women to
the breaking of their will, from exploitation to their exclusion from politics, all are forms of the
same system. But in the face of this darkness, today a united voice of women is rising all over the
world: ‘Woman, Life, Freedom!’
We particularly call on all the women of the world, women's organisations, academics, artists,
environmental activists and all those who stand for freedom:
• Raise your voices against the denialist policies that target the YPJ and the values of the women's
revolution, and do not remain silent.
• Strengthen our joint struggle against violence, terror, colonialism, and all dominant systems.
• Spread the voice of the women's revolution, the philosophy of freedom, and our demand for a free
and democratic status to the whole world.
• To protect life, nature, and democratic society, stand up against ecological destruction and the
massacre of women (feminicide).
Our strength is in our unity. As long as one woman anywhere in the world is without rights and
oppressed, our freedom is not complete. True freedom is only achieved with the freedom of all
women. The time has come for all the women of the world to become one voice and to stand up for
the values that the YPJ has established.
With revolutionary greetings and respect,
The General Command of the YPJ

🟡 Online Talk: with YPJ & the Women's Movement in Rojava
The focus will be on the achievements of the women’s movement in recent years—and, above all, on the question of what future the YPJ has in the current integration process in Syria. While political negotiations on the integration of the self-administration are ongoing, key advances in women’s rights are increasingly coming under pressure. What role will the YPJ play in the future? What do the current developments mean for women’s rights and self-determination in the region?

YPJ means protecting the land and its people
To protect one’s own people, one must love one’s land. With this mindset, the weapon in the hands of the YPJ becomes a means of protection, not destruction.
We are all YPJ
Within YPJ, women organise themselves autonomously. And this is not limited to the military sphere, but extends to all aspects of life. Deep friendships are build – a form of friendship that can became the basis of a free and democratic society.
We are all YPJ
Despite its significant military successes especially in the fight against ISIS and military expertise, the YPJ is not merely a military force, but a force dedicated to building a new way of life. A force paving the way for a new life in freedom, democracy and peace.
