Message from the Women’s Protection Units Command to Zapatista Mujeres la Sexta
In solidarity with Rojava, the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), and the Zapatistas, the group “Zapatista Mujeres la Sexta” (Sexta Grietas del Norte-ECR) issued a statement of solidarity on October 25, commemorating the founding of the Women’s Army.
In response, the leadership of the Women’s Protection Units released a written statement expressing gratitude to this group and honoring the struggles of women everywhere.
The YPJ statement reads as follows:
“We greet you in the spirit of the Rojava Revolution and express our heartfelt thanks for your support in these difficult times.
The struggle for women’s freedom is closer to victory than ever before, thanks to this spirit of solidarity. The united struggle of women will put an end to fascist and oppressive systems that oppose women. The guerrilla fight for freedom, which has become the hope for the liberation of women and peoples, will certainly achieve victory.
No massacre or fascist attack can distance us from our passion for freedom and our mission. In this sense, we reaffirm that the value and significance of our shared solidarity and struggle will only grow stronger.
Long live the struggle for women’s freedom!
Long live the spirit of international sisterhood!
Long live the resistance of Zapatista women and the Women’s Protection Units!
