On this anniversary, let us tell the Islamic Republic what our revolution and resistance are. Our protests continue in the cities and today the mountains are no longer alone. There is a fighter in every house in Kurdistan. We are on the verge of the second anniversary of the 'Jin, jiyan, azadî (woman, life, freedom)' women's uprising. We shocked the mullah regime by organizing a spectacular revolt march to condemn the murder of Jîna Emînî. With the most symbolic slogan 'jin, jiyan, azadi', we conveyed the message of our more than 40 years of joint struggle against the gender discriminatory regime, headscarf and anti-women rulers to the people and liberated women nationally and globally. The unity and solidarity of our freedom women in Kurdistan will be the radical support of the struggle against execution, oppression and crime and the continuation of the gains of the popular uprising of freedom women.
'WE COME TOGETHER AT THEIR GRAVES'
