Çay at the Women's Front has released a new podcast of the series 'Çay Break'. In this episode, women talk about water as a weapon.

The access to water in Rojava and Northern and Eastern Syria is becoming more and more limited. The severe drought that has been lasting for over two years is connected to the global ecological situation and the Turkish state cutting the water supply to the region.

Water is a source of life and, as such, it is one of the most direct ways to attack society. The water is being used as a tool of war.

Presenting the podcast, the women said: "A friend joined us to talk about Heyva sor, the Kurdish Red moon structure and her current project on assessing and improving water infrastructures, access to water and the quality of water.

We need to change our relations with nature and stop capitalist exploitation and destruction of it. Rojava is an ecological revolution as ecology is one fundamental principle of the movement that aims to change how we live with each other and nature. It is clear that to protect the fundament of life for the people in this revolution, we need to rise up and take a stand against the Turkish fascist regime everywhere where people feel the hope that is arising from the Rojava revolution. To protect nature is to protect life."
