Thousands of Kurdish women are taking to the streets every day in solidarity with the people of Rojava which has been facing attacks by al-Qaeda linked armed gang groups targeting the revolution of the Kurdish people in Syria's Kurdish territory.

The march Democratic Free Women's Movement (DÖKH) staged in Urfa was joined by hundreds of women included BDP (Peace and Democracy Party) provincial deputy co-chairs Leyla Akça and Halit Yıldıztekin.

Police often warned women not to chant illegal slogans as they often shouted "Bijî Serok Apo", "Bijî berxwedana YPG" [Long live the YPG resistance].

Making a statement to the press on behalf of demonstrators, DÖKH activist Sibel Sütpak pointed out that it was women and children who suffered most in the conflict environment in the Middle East.

Sütpak remarked that Kurdish women will never accept to remain silent about the massacre of the people i n Rojava by gang groups organized and backed by Turkey. DÖKH activist called on everyone to mobilize in order to defeat the AKP government's dirty games and fraudulent policies targeting Rojava.

Sütpak urged the government to open the border gates to enable the transfer of aids to the people in Rojava.

One other demo was held in Adana where members of BDP Women's Council staged a march to protest the massacre of Kurdish people in Rojava.

"Everywhere Rojava, everywhere resistance", "Remaining silent on Rojava is a crime against humanity", "We condemn the mindset murdering women and children" read their banners.

Making a statement to the press, BDP Women's Council member Beritan Yılmaz called on Kurdish people and women to display solidarity with the people in Rojava. "Defending Rojava means defending the freedom of women, it means defending humanity, an honorable life. It means defending the equality and democratic freedom of people. It means asking an end to the brutal cruelty people in the Middle East are being subjeced to", Yılmaz said and underlined that remaining silent on Rojava would mean siding with deaths.

Kurdish women in Istanbul, led by DÖKH, also staged three demos in the districts of Sultanbeyli, Şişli and Başakşehir. Demonstrators voiced their demands for peace and a solution to the Kurdish problem, underlining that they do not want war.
