Rojîn, who shone with her revolutionary spirit in her struggle against the dark forces, stood not only for the lands of Afrin, but also against the oppression of ISIS gangs in Manbij. By participating in the operation for Manbij, she showed her determination to spread the fire of freedom to wider lands. While her name echoed in the Manbij operation, the love for the country in her heart was felt everywhere. Standing shoulder to shoulder with her comrades, Rojîn, after the liberation of Manbij from ISIS, returned to the lands of Afrin where she was born and raised in 2016 and led the operation for Shehba.

The world views of the children were shaped by her affectionate looks and teachings. She continued to exist as a guide who saw the potential in each child and instilled hope in them. Her courage and determination in the struggle for freedom, blended with the compassion and love in her relationship with children, revealed the values she carried as a human being at her core.
