The revolution in North and East Syria has created a new life under the leadership of women. While the
\nregion was in the middle of a severe crisis caused by the Baath regime as well as the policies of the
\nhegemonic powers, the opportunity to determine our own destiny arose. On this basis, we decided to
\nestablish a system in which society organizes itself within the framework of democratic confederalism.
\nIn the past years, we defended our lands from severe attacks and fought relentlessly against the policies
\nof genocide. We liberated the territories occupied by ISIS without relying on other forces, motivated by
\nour strong belief in a free and equal life.
\nMany revolutions have failed because the interests of the people could not be defended, the revolution
\nhere however is based on the people\u2019s interests- ecology, democracy and women\u2019s liberation. This is
\nwhy it has achieved a truly revolutionary change within society.
\nIn line with these principles, the YPJ took the responsibility for creating a free future and became a
\nleading force. The participation of women in the YXK\/YPG Units from the very beginning played a
\ndecisive role in the organization of women and peoples. The women joining the armed self-defense
\nunits ensured that the interests of the people are represented properly and influenced the forces by
\nimplementing new styles and methods of our struggle. By being an integral part of the self-defense
\nforces, the YPJ has become a role model far beyond the Middle East.
\nWith the revolution in North and East Syria, women realized the meaning of their existence that had
\nbeen taken away violently by the dominant male system for thousands of years. Women carried out a
\nrelentless struggle against all kinds of invasions and attacks using their legitimate right of self-defense.
\nWithin the struggle women are part of organizing the people, educating themselves and others and
\nparticipating in the armed defense. The fighters of the YPJ defend the identities, languages, cultures
\nand free will of their own peoples. For this reason, the Rojava Revolution achieved its true meaning
\nwith the YPJ.
\nThe YPJ will continue its relentless struggle as a vanguard force against all policies of occupation and
\nannihilation. We look proudly at 11 years of great struggle, resistance, heroism and the spirit of selfsacrificing. Always side by side with the people of this land. It was the unity of the peoples that made
\nthis revolution happen. So, the spirit of unity of the peoples will play a decisive role in the continuation
\nand permanence of the women\u2019s revolution in North and East Syria.
\nMany of our valuable fighters and commanders gave their lives for the Rojava Revolution. We, the
\nYPJ, make a promise to continue their struggle and ensure the continuation of the revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n
