The Weaving for Life platform organises its first online panel within the scope of campaign for struggle against political femicide. 

A number of women’s organisations and activists, among them REPAK, launched the campaign ‘Weaving for Life’ against the systematic killing of female leaders.

The first action of the campaign is an online panel, to talk about the platform’s objectives and share information on the killing of leading women in different parts of the world.

The panel will be in English, Spanish, Arabic and Kurdish.

Within the scope of the struggle against political femicide campaign, the platform will hold its first online panel on Wednesday 23 June at 4 pm (Central Europe Time), 5 pm (Kurdistan time).

The panel has been planned on the anniversary of the killing in the village of Helince (Kobane) and will include English, Kurdish, Arabic and Spanish presentations.

The panel to be held via Zoom platform will be moderated by Jojo Guan, member of Philippine women’s organisation Gabriela and Alessia Dro from Kurdistan Women’s Movement in Latin America.
