While the Turkish state's invasion attacks against Medya Defense Areas continue, the guerrilla is displaying a relentless resistance. One of those fighting in the resistance positions against the invasion attacks is YJA Star guerrilla Destina.

Saying that the female guerrillas are waging a great struggle against the attacks of the Turkish state, guerrilla Destina added: "I believe that all our friends, especially our female friends, are revealing their strength with the philosophy of Leader Apo [Öcalan]. What I want to make clear here is that the strongest response to these invasion attacks is the will and strength of women. The enemy's dream is to attack and pillage wherever women are. In this respect, our female friends take their place in the resistance areas against the invasion attacks. They have dealt a great blow to the enemy also by showing their strength and determination.”

Guerrilla Destina continued: “The resistance of women will give great morale and strength to all friends. Our goal is to expel the enemy from Kurdistan and live freely in these mountains. It is the strength of women that will lead us to success against these attacks. As Leader Apo said, society will not be free without women being free. Therefore, women will ensure their own freedom so that the society will be free.”
