WE ARE ALL YPJ!

Over thirteen years, YPJ has resisted all forms of violence and terrorism targeting women and society. Today, it enters a new phase: integration within a democratic Syria. An agreement signed on January 29, 2026, between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD) marks this transition. As an independent force and a foundation of the Syrian Democratic Forces, particularly in terms of ethics and values, the YPJ can protect women and society from all forms of terror.
YPJ remains a fundamental force in protecting women and society. Its presence within the defense system is essential to safeguarding the achievements of a free society. The YPJ’s participation as women within the Syrian army has become a fundamental criteria for the democratisation and equality of Syria. It is very important for YPJ to preserve their military presence within the Syrian army, both now and in the future as it will ensure the peace and safety within Syria. Ensuring YPJ’s continued existence—constitutionally and institutionally—represents a guarantee for the protection of all Syrian women from all forms of violence, terror and oppression. Likewise as attacks on the regions and across Syria have not ceased, the threat to women has increased more than ever. Therefore the existence of YPJ needs to be ensured in the new constitution. At the same time, YPJ can play a vanguard role in the formation of a new Syrian army. With the YPJ’s participation in the army, the Syrian army can become a model of peace, equality and security for the entire region.
