“We will keep Sakine Cansız alive in our thoughts and personality and maintain her resistance,” said women participating in the education program started by Kongra Star Education Committee in memory of Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Şaylamez.
Hasakah- Kongra Star Education Committee started an education program on January 7, 2024 in memory of Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Şaylamez, three Kurdish women politicians, who were murdered in Paris 11 years ago. The education program attended by 23 women will last 22 days. The education program is about life stories of the three Kurdish women politicians, women’s history, the change of patriarchal mindset, the importance of education for women, Jineology, the system of Kongra Star and common life.
‘We learn the truth’
Xezal Berkel, one of the women participating in the education program, believes that people can learn the truth, science and history through education. “People can learn more about themselves through education. Women’s participation in the education program is important because they play an important role in society. Women should always improve themselves and learn more about science to become leaders in their society,” said Xezal Berkel.
‘We will keep Sakine Cansız alive in our thoughts’
Through the education program, we will revive the spirit of Sakine Cansız, Xezal Berkel said, adding, “We will keep Sakine Cansız alive in our thoughts and personality and maintain her resistance. As we learn life stories of Sakine Cansız and her comrades, we understand why they fight and why we should follow in their footsteps. We will organize ourselves and our society to honor our martyrs.”
‘We will improve ourselves in science’
The ideology and thoughts of Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan shed light on all women, said Hîba Elî, another woman participating in the education program. Hîba Elî told us that she decided to participate in the education program to strengthen her personality.
“The system in North and East Syria is based on democracy and equality. For this reason, education is very important and the light of life for us. As Arab women, we see the light of life in the philosophy of Abdullah Öcalan. We will improve ourselves in science and all facets of life in order to be worthy of this philosophy.”
