Today we will also give space for the women’s village of Jinwar, that sent a letter that adresses Europe:
“The EU is already discussing deporting people back to Syria and is talking about a new beginning in Syria, while people are forced to flee their homes here every day. Turkey attacks everywhere. There is no safe place for people. Sleeping places, food, medicine for the displaced are scarce. It is hardly possible to offer people security.
But the women here are determined. Determined to fight for the children to learn in their own language and grow up with the values of democracy and freedom of women. Determined to counter violence and death by building something beautiful that is full of life. ”
Revolutionary greetings!
