Women are building a new life in Northern Kurdistan against the war policies pursued by the AKP / Palace against the Kurdish population altogether.

18-year-old high school student Sema Seçkin who lives in Amed's central Bağlar district has opened a small shop near her family house to build a bridge of solidarity among the people. Residents around are leaving clean and usable properties of theirs which they don't need, such as clothing, shoes and books, and some others in need of these are enabled a chance to get what they need from this place.

The campaign is based on establishing a long-running solidarity and sharing, meant to meet the needs of families victimised by the war of the state; mainly those from Amed's central historic Sur district. The project attracts intensive attention from the people of Amed although it began just two weeks ago. Seçkin opens the shop in the early hours of the morning and stays there till the evening, studying her lessons on one hand and struggling to announce the project to more people during the day on the other hand.

'AGAINST CAPITALISM AND WAR'

Sema Seçkin who spoke to ANF stated that she initiated the project as a step of solidarity during the most recent process of war in Northern Kurdistan, and aimed to provide a constant ground for aggrieved families, mainly those displaced from Sur.

“People bring their clean and wearable clothes which we later wash, iron and leave here in order for those in need to be able to take them. This project is based on both popular solidarity in the ongoing process of war and a response to capitalism. If we want a free future, everyone should show awareness in this regard. Rather than throwing the unused clothes away or storing them home in vain, people can leave their unused clothes here so we can deliver them to those in need.”

The address of the campaign spot is;

"Mevlana Halit Mahallesi, Nükhet Coşkun Caddesi, 408. Sokak, Bağlar/DİYARBAKIR."
