AMED - In the statement made about the international conference of TJA, it was stated that "Women stated that the struggle and solidarity must be continued and increased until the practices that are a part of the attempts to break their will and take over and that are against human dignity end."

The Free Women's Movement (Tevgera Jinên Azad-TJA) made a written statement regarding the conference they organized on January 13-14 under the title "Chain of Silence: Breaking Down the Walls Around Women Political Prisoners".
 
In the statement, it was reminded that women from Southern Kurdistan, Iran, Turkey, Canada, Palestine, Catalonia, Northern Ireland, Basque Country, Latin America and the Philippines attended the international conference, and said: "On the first day of the conference, sexist, racist and colonial prison systems produced by capitalist nation-state systems were evaluated. Participants made presentations about their experiences. It was stated that high security prisons are places designed to punish and isolate dissidents, especially women, of capitalist modernity in Asia, Europe, America and the Middle East.”
 
In the statement referring to the panels held on the first day of the conference, it was emphasized that it was revealed that women who fought in the field of freedom and political rights were imprisoned by judicial manipulations and were forced to obey and give up their struggles in prisons designed by the system with a man understanding.
 
'ATTEMPTS TO TAKE DELIVERY'
 
In the statement, which emphasized that many common themes were revealed in prisons in different countries, the following statements were made: "It was stated that sexual violence is used as a method of torture, but it often remains an 'untouched and unspoken' issue by women. It has become clear that prisons are spatially designed in a way that is contrary to women's physiology and sociology, that women are systematically isolated, that their health and communication rights are systematically violated, and that these practices are covered with a curtain of silence, and that it is essential to break this silence. Women transformed these oppressive spaces where they were imprisoned into spaces where they organized objection and resistance, and where they continued to learn and develop. It has been stated that imprisoned women participate creatively in art, media, politics and social life.
 
Women stated that electrocution, rape, isolation, solitary confinement, communication and disciplinary punishments are part of the attempts to break the will and take over, and that the struggle and solidarity should be continued and increased until these practices against human dignity end. The narratives of women who participated from all over the world inspired each other."
 
In the statement, it was emphasized that the ongoing hunger strikes in prisons within the scope of the "freedom" campaign were also saluted.
 
SOME DECISIONS MADE
 
Some decisions taken at the conference are as follows:
 
"* Establishing an 'international women's network' consisting of women's organizations, intellectuals, artists, politicians and volunteers in order to make visible the rights violations experienced by imprisoned women, raise awareness and ensure solidarity,
 
* Strong support for the struggle and demands of all women political prisoners who are still held in prisons in various parts of the world and who have not pledged allegiance, and the effective use of not only local media but also international media in this regard, as an alternative to domestic legal mechanisms that nation states consider as useful manipulation devices, as well as regional and Operation of relevant mechanisms for the sensitivity and exposure of violations of global structures (ECHR, EC, UN, AI, HRW, etc.),
 
* Organizing a global campaign to ensure the freedom of all women political prisoners.”
