Today, Thursday, February 19, Perîvan Khalid, the representative of Kongra Star in Rojava, gave an extensive presentation on the women’s experience in Rojava and North and East Syria during an official meeting with members of the local council in a town in Cauca, as part of the delegation’s Latin America tour.

During the meeting, Khalid reviewed the history of women’s struggle in Rojava, focusing on their role in building a participatory democratic model based on gender equality and their contribution across political, social, and administrative fields.

She also addressed the mechanisms of women’s self-organization in the region and the challenges they have faced throughout the years of war and political transformations.

The meeting witnessed a broad discussion between the women’s delegation and the council members, as both sides exchanged views on methods of community administration, the organization of local committees, and ways to enhance women’s participation in decision-making positions.

Council members expressed particular interest in the Rojava experience in women’s empowerment, considering it a model that could be used to develop local structures in Cauca.
