Narîman Evdikê, spokesperson of the Northern and Eastern Syria Literary Council, said that they organized this workshop to support young women who want to start their writing adventure and added: “The courses are in Kurdish and Arabic. We wanted to clearly share the terms and conditions of what writing means with the girls.”
In the Northern and Eastern Syria's Literature Court, women's books and writings are evaluated in a different way. Narîman Evdikê said: “Women's pens are also different because of their different feelings and ways to see and approach things. And this appears most often in literature.”
