News Center- The European Kurdish Women's Movement (TJK-E) has released a written statement, saying they would welcome Newroz with a great spirit of struggle. “For the Kurdish people, Newroz is not only the arrival of spring, but also a symbol of resistance, freedom and rebirth. This resistance led by women represents the bright path of our struggle against the patriarchal system, colonialism and all forms of oppression.

The “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî” philosophy continues to be the fundamental force shaping the struggle for freedom and the process of building a democratic society, the TJK-E emphasized in the statement. “This year, we combine the women’s struggle that strengthened on International Women’s Day, March 8, with the freedom fire of Newroz. As women, we build the bridge of freedom from March 8 to Newroz with the joy of spring.”

In the statement, the TJK-E called on everyone to support the international campaign demanding “freedom for Abdullah Öcalan and a political solution to the Kurdish question”. “Our strongest response to fascism and colonialism is our struggle for freedom, democracy and equality based on the paradigm of leader Apo. The spring of freedom will take root in the lives of our people along with the women's revolution. Therefore, it is time to further strengthen the fire of Newroz.

Call for mobilization for the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan

“As the European Kurdish Women’s Movement, we wish a happy Newroz to everyone. We call on all women, young people and our people to flock to the streets to celebrate Newroz, strengthen the struggle for freedom, build a democratic society and mobilize for the freedom of leader Apo.”
