ROJAVA – With the revolution in Rojhilat Kurdistan, the call for freedom not only in Rojhilat and Iran, but around the world received new impetus. With the slogan “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî”women in Rojhilat Kurdistan began to express their opposition to the oppressive ruling regime in Iran. With this reputation and the spread of rebellion in Rojhilat and Iran, they attracted worldwide attention.
Jin, Jiyan, Azadi – translated means women, life, freedom, i.e. the woman as the center of life and freedom. This reputation reveals the actual position of women in life and society and also shows how far women have been removed from their actual role in the systems of male domination mentality. Those who chant this slogan are reclaiming their historically based position in society. With this demand, they are therefore also demanding a fundamental change in the system. The disempowerment of male rule and the annihilation of the associated male mentality that oppresses, exploits, humiliates and degrades women into objects of their desire. It is not for nothing that Rêber APO said that the status of women in a society.
“I always say that conditions under which ‘Jin and Jiyan’ cease to mean woman and life reflect the decay and dissolution of society. Unless we analyze this reality and mobilize for the path to freedom, those elements that we call revolution, revolutionary party, leaders and militants cannot possibly play their intended role.”
Reber APO
