Displaced women working at the I\u015ftar Tandoor Cooperative in Til Temir voiced their messages for International Women\u2019s Day, calling on the Turkish state to withdraw from their homeland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Til Temir \u2013<\/strong> Displaced women<\/a> in North and East Syria have been waging a common struggle although their homelands have been occupied, they have been suffering from displacement, their identities have been ignored and the demographic structure of their region have been changed. In the shadow of all these circumstances, they welcome International Women\u2019s Day. Women, who were displaced from Ser\u00eakan\u00eey\u00ea<\/a> (Ras al-Ayn) by the Turkish attacks, have been living in Til Nesri, a Syriac village of Til Temir<\/a>, northeastern Syria, since October 9, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NuJINHA spoke to displaced women working at the I\u015ftar Tandoor Cooperative<\/a>, established by the Economy Committee<\/a> of Kongra Star<\/a> in the city of Til Temir to promote women\u2019s economic empowerment, about International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Our homeland must be liberated\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWomen must claim their rights, especially to secure their future,\u201d said Em\u00eene His\u00ea, who was first displaced from Ser\u00eakan\u00eey\u00ea by the Turkish attacks and then from Aleppo by the attacks of Al-Nusra Front. \u201cNow, women participate in the labor force everywhere, achieving successes and demanding their rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em\u00eene His\u00ea wants Ser\u00eakan\u00eey\u00ea to be liberated. \u201cWe hope that the occupations will end, the Kurdish people will gain their status and achieve victory as a result of their struggle. We hope to return to our homeland. We also demand the physical freedom of leader Abdullah \u00d6calan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em\u00eera Micris talked about the long-year women\u2019s struggle for rights. \u201cThey still have not had their rights although they make more efforts than men. We demand gender equality everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Our joy remains incomplete\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Em\u00eera Micris called on the Turkish state to withdraw from \u201cour homeland so that we can return to our homes. Our joy remains incomplete because our city, homeland, and our homes are occupied. Displacement is a form of violence. Therefore, our joy will remain incomplete until this violence ends and our cities are liberated. We can celebrate International Women\u2019s Day when our homeland is liberated and we return to our homes. How can I celebrate International Women\u2019s Day when my city is under occupation? We dream of a free country and a world without violence, where men and women are equal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
