She continued: “As Kurdish women, we are internationally proud to have a force of Kurdish women who are fighting on both social and military fronts against occupation. We must never forget that the YPJ has played, and continues to play, a significant and vital role in defeating the ISIS gangs. Thanks to the women’s revolution and their remarkable resistance, this enemy of the world was brought down.”
“We bow in respect and reverence to the sacrifices of these women”
Finally, Zeyneb Murad emphasized that the achievements of women today are owed to the sacrifices of those who gave their lives.
