Sozdar Avesta: PKK revealing the disappeared truth in the Middle East The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women was also marked by hundreds of guerrillas on the mountains of Kurdistan in Behdinan yesterday. Speaking at the gathering in Media Defense Areas, KCK (Kurdistan Communities Union) Co-Presidency Council member Sozdar Avesta said that 25 November was a symbolic day to say stop to violence against women, adding that; “Still, we know the meaning of this day very well. We are sharing the pain of the Mirabal sisters of the Dominican Republic. We are also suffering from violence. Our pain is still very fresh and young girls in Kurdistan are every day falling fighting against fascism and male violence.” Three sisters of ours were murdered in the Dominican Republic. And today, 12-15 people from the same family are being massacred in Sinjar. No conscience, no mindset, no moral, no feeling nor spirit can accept this. All these murders were perpetrated by the same fascistic approach”, Sozdar Avesta said, describing the Sinjar massacre as the heaviest blow inflicted on women in the 21st century. Remarking that the Sinjar attack aimed to destroy a culture and faith, KCK Co-Presidency Council member pointed out that Sinjar was a deliberately aimed target, and that the plan was however defeated by the resistance of tens of thousands of people on the Mount Sinjar. “A gender egalitarian life had been maintained in Mesopotamian lands for thousands of years. This communal and free life has always been considered sacred by the Kurdish society and humanity”, she said, underlining that the state destroyed this gender egalitarian system and built a grim system of exploitation instead. She remarked that this ignored sacred system is being rebuilt through the resistance being mounted today. “Through the struggle it is waging, the PKK is once again revealing the disappeared and disregarded truth in the Middle East”, Sozdar Avesta emphasised. Avesta said it has been proved once again in Sinjar and Kobanê that the PKK movement has advanced under the leadership of women who became an army on Kurdistan mountains 21 years ago. Avesta ended by stressing that; All the women demanding freedom and democracy should know that YJA-STAR and YPJ will always continue their existence as the defense force of women in these lands. Following the path of Zilan, Beritan, Viyan and Arin comrades, we will continue to be the guarantor of the womens freedom. ANF - BEHDINAN 26.11.2014 14:00:04
