Kurdish Women's Movement
The Kurdish Women's Movement is a social and political initiative aimed at promoting the rights and empowerment of women within the Kurdish community. It emerged in response to historical oppression and gender inequality, advocating for women's participation in politics, education, and social life. The movement emphasizes the importance of women's roles in the struggle for Kurdish autonomy and cultural identity.
Central to this movement is the concept of Jineology, which focuses on women's studies and the importance of women's perspectives in society. The movement has gained international attention, particularly through the efforts of Kurdish female fighters in groups like the YPG and YPJ, who have played significant roles in the fight against extremism and for human rights in the region.
