A new chapter of women struggle

On 09.12.2024 the women struggle reached new heights. On this day Dilda Welat, Cudî Tolhildan, Axîn Koçer, Sema Hesekê and Tolhildan Serêkanîyê fought a great struggle against the approaching militias.  Tolhildan Serêkanîyê felt martyr in the fight. Dilda Welat, Cudî Tolhildan, Axîn Koçer and Sema Hesekê fought until their last bullet. Then they decided to use a hand grenade to explode themselves and the approaching enemy. 

With this action they continued the line of of martyr Zilan, who herself wrote a new chapter of women struggle on 30 June 1996. With her self-sacrificial action in the heart of the enemy she showed that the enemy is not invincible.

With gratitude we remember martyr Zilan, the self-sacrifice of women fighters in Mimbic and all the women who gave their lives for the cause of freedom and justice.
