Self-defense and building a democratic society are two essential pillars for ensuring stability and freedom. Only together, we will be able to create a secure, just, and dignified future for every member of society. But what exactly does self-defense mean? And how does it relate to establishing a democratic society? What role do women play in this? Women from Kongra Star, the Women Protection Units YPJ and the Beth Nahrin’s Women’s Protection Forces discuss these important topics.

This project was a cooperation between YPJ Information and Documentation Office, Kongra Star and Women Defend Rojava.
