JIN, JIYAN, AZADÎ – WOMAN, LIFE, FREEDOM
“Jin, Jiyan, Azadî – Woman, Life, Freedom” is a project that explores the role of women within the ecological revolution of Rojava, in northeastern Syria, where for more than a decade a unique social model has been developing in the Middle East—one based on social ecology, direct democracy, and women’s liberation.
A revolution unlike any other in the region, in which women are involved in every sphere of society: municipalities, civil councils, agricultural cooperatives, health centers, security systems, and local administrations operate through a system of male– female co-leadership.
Today, after years of effort and collective construction, the pro- spect of a large-scale war in Syria threatens what has been built with such determination and sacrifice.
