NEWS CENTER – These social conflicts are all based on the existence of women. The loss of women in this sense is very deep-rooted. The continuation of the ruling patriarchal system with the status of women as a class, nation and the first gender that has been oppressed and oppressed can sustain itself with the continuation of this situation. The history of male rule developed on the basis of women’s production and productivity. One of the policies that a man can control over a woman is early marriage.
Child marriage is a social phenomenon of marrying girls at a young age, that is, under 18 years of age, before they reach physical and mental maturity. Child marriage leads to the worst forms of violence, exploitation and child trafficking. It affects women and girls, their families and communities in different ways and has negative effects on all aspects of women’s lives, from social, economic and health to women’s education. Therefore, marriage at a young age is seen as a violation of human and children’s rights, it deprives girls of a future in which they can fulfill their dreams and reinforces the cycle of pressure and harm on women in society.
The members and management of the Young Women’s Union of the Liberated region spoke to our agency about these issues.
In the beginning, Sheza El-Ali, a member of the Young Women’s Union of Tabqa region, spoke. Shaza started her speech like this; “My name is Şeza, I take my place in the Young Women’s Union of the Tabqa region. Today we see that in our societies, early marriage has spread more and more as a culture. Some families marry their daughters at a young age, so that get rid of the economic burden due to the war and the situation we live in in our society. In addition, young women are deprived of education, in most areas there are no schools and institutions for girls, so families tend to marry them. There is no moral standard for the state or the ruling system to stand against it. Of course, this has psychological, physical and social consequences for young women, which has a negative impact on their lives, and will affect their children in the future. Some of those girls, due to pressure and excessive responsibility, are the reason for running away from marriage or committing suicide. From the economic point of view, we point out that women due to the current economic conditions in the war, they are given financial burdens that are not according to their age. ”
At the end of her speech, Shaza stated that it is the duty of every young woman to organize herself and her community and said; “Today, as the youth movement and the Young Women’s Union in Tabqa region, it is our duty to organize youth groups and young women in this society and we are trying to reach the largest part of these young women and try to help them in the field of warn mentally and socially. Because its consequences create dangers for our societies and especially for women, it is necessary to eliminate this culture of early marriage in the near future. Today, as the Young Women’s Union of the region Tabqa has organized many awareness campaigns about the problems of early marriage, suicide and all women’s problems. We call on all young women to organize women, get rid of these problems and create a space for young women, which should be develop your personality in the field. Finally, I say to all the young women, so that you can save yourself from these problems, come and organize yourself in the Union of Young Women.”
Also, Beyda Al-Khidir spoke about the special war policies that the state is conducting on young men and women and stated that the state does not attack only physically, it attacks mostly through special war.
The administration of the Young Women’s Union of the Tabqa area, Beyda Al-Khidir, also stated that the enemy does not only attack geographically, but in the special war also attacks through prostitution and intelligence materials, targeting young people and especially women. ; “The rate of abuse among women is increasing, and drugs kill young women physically, after taking one or two doses, the person goes to their senses and sells them. Women who abuse drugs, when the dose is not in their hands, from they go to prostitution for the sake of drugs. Our role as young women should be to find a solution to these problems, we should increase our awareness seminars in the society. Because prison is wrong and not a solution. We as young women should start through awareness campaigns against these policies.”
At the same time, Meryem Abdullah, a member of the Young Women’s Union of Manbij and a villager, pointed out that young women will take their place in the resistance alongside the guerrillas and said; “We have all heard of the attacks launched against the guerrillas. We, as the Young Women’s Union, reject these attacks, because we understand the truth of the enemy and we know what he is attacking for. The enemy wants the people to be in a state of fear and terror. but we, as revolutionary women, will put our hands in the hands of the guerrillas to protect the society and protect our people. We will not allow the fascist state to occupy our land. prove to them that we are very resistant. We as young women must become organizational figures who have trained themselves on the ideas and philosophy of Leader Abdullah Ocalan, so that they can be the solution to all social problems. Finally, I want to say, we must as young women , support the guerrilla resistance and let’s stand together against the occupation.”
