Free Women’s Union conference discusses the role of women

The meeting underlined the role of women in the Rojava Revolution.

The Second Conference of the Free Women's Union Shehba Region Coordination continued.

The slogan of the conference is "Women's freedom will be the guarantee of freedom of democratic society".

Co-chair of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, Hediya Yusif, delivered a speech to the conference.

Emphasizing that the regime forces and some groups that now consider themselves the pioneers of the Syrian Revolution keep ignoring the freedom of women, Hediya Yusif stated that these groups and regime are afraid of women taking up their role in society.

She pointed out that the congress is being held as the war continues and in hard conditions in the region. To hold a congress in such conditions, she said, is very meaningful, and added that Northern Syrian women's struggle for freedom is an example for all Syrian and Middle Eastern women.

Indicating that the main force to bring society towards democracy and freedom is represented by women, Yusif said that women would become leaders in the military and political fields in the region and in the organization.

The conference continued with the reading and evaluation of annual reports.
