Tevgera Jinên Azad (TJA), the Free Women’s Movement, said in a written New Year statement:

"The peoples, identities and women who have resisted with labor and sacrifice for thousands of years and protected all the beauties being sought for destruction, we are leaving the year 2021 behind. Undoubtedly, time is not a concept limited to what can be expressed in numbers, and 2021 will protect all our values, smiles and pains from the past and entrust them to 2022.

We are going through times when all these values ​​are targeted by the capitalist modernity system based on male domination, and everything that is good and beautiful created by society faces destruction. The governments, which present capitalist modernity as the only option for people under the name of 'progress', want to make people forget the 14 thousand-year-old social tradition.”

The statement added: “Our struggle for women’s liberation has not given and will not give way to any of these foul ways and means. We will continue to tread our way against patriarchy being imposed on us.”
