The Flame of Rojava: Where Freedom Wears the Face of Women Warriors

The Flame of Rojava: The Women Warriors of Liberation
Song: Kendal Manis - Marsa Rojava

In the arid lands of northeastern Syria, where war has sown desolation and death for years, a spark of hope ignited against all odds. That spark is called Rojava, a revolution born not only from conflict but from the deep yearning for justice, freedom, and dignity for all oppressed peoples. Amid the chaos and brutality of a world at war, a vision emerged that defies centuries of darkness and fear: a system based on direct democracy, gender equality, and peaceful coexistence among diverse ethnicities and religions.

But Rojava is not just a political project; it is a song of freedom written with the blood and courage of its people. And in this epic, the true heroines are the women. The YPJ, the Women’s Protection Units, have taken up arms with an indomitable spirit, becoming the living symbol of the struggle for female emancipation and equality. They fight not only against the enemies threatening their land but also against centuries of patriarchal oppression that tried to silence their voices and chain their bodies.

Every warrior who rises on the battlefield is a beacon illuminating the path toward a different future—one where justice knows no gender. In their eyes burns the passion for a world where women are not victims or shadows, but architects of their destiny and guardians of peace. Their resistance is twofold: they bravely face the jihadist groups seeking to impose terror and darkness, and at the same time, they break down the internal barriers that denied them freedom and recognition for generations.

The battle of the YPJ against the Islamic State and other extremist forces is not just military; it is a cultural, social, and spiritual war. Every victory over fanaticism is a triumph for humanity, an affirmation that dignity and equality can flourish even in the harshest terrains. In their ranks, women of all ages and backgrounds unite, sharing an ideal that transcends war: the dream of a society where diversity is celebrated, where children grow up without fear, and where equality is the sacred law.

The song of the YPJ echoes through the valleys and mountains of Rojava, a sound that challenges the silence imposed by violence and oppression. Their weapons are the strength of conviction, their shields the sisterhood and love for their people. In every fight, in every sacrifice, they write the story of a revolution that not only changes geographic borders but also the internal borders of the human heart.

Rojava is dignity. Rojava is resistance. Rojava is woman.
The Women’s Protection Units — their lives are revolution, their anthem is freedom.
With their courage and their struggle, they are forging a new world.
Freedom is not a dream — it is built with blood, sacrifice, voice, and resistance.

Rojava is the flame that burns against the darkness,
and the women of the YPJ are its sacred fire,
illuminating the way toward a dawn where freedom, justice, and equality are not just dreams but tangible realities.
In their hands rests the future, and in their spirit lives the hope for a better world for all.

Di erdên germ û qirax ên Bakurê Rojhilatê Sûriyê de, ku şer û dagirkerî salan li ser xelk hatibûn avêtin, şemalek berxwedan hat ser ketin. Navê wê şemalê: Rojava. Ne tenê şoreşekê dijî dagirker û teror, lê jî şoreşeke ji dil û xwestek gelêk ji bo azadî, dad û rûmet. Di nav navêkê ku hemû kes îro bifikire ku tamîr nabe, ew xeyal li vir hate xwastin: civakêk ku li ser xweserî, hevnasî û azadiya jinan hatibû avakirin.

Lê Rojava tenê siyasî tune ye. Ew xeyalek nîne. Ew şer e. Ew qehremanîye. Ew jiyana rast e.

Di nav vê şerê de, jinan ne tenê beşdar in — ew serhildanê xwe diparêzin. Yekîneyên Parastina Jinê (YPJ) bi silahê di dest de, bi agahiyek zindî di ser dil, jêhatin pêşî. Ew ne tenê li dijî DAESH û xofkaran şer dikin, lê her wiha di binê mirovahiyê de, di nav gund û mal de, di dijî sedsalên zordariya mêrkesayetê têkoşîn dikin.

Di çavên wan jinên şoreşvan de, te agirek dibîn. Ew agirek ku qefilên kevnarên kevn têk dike. Ew dibêjin: "Ez jî di nav şer de me, lê ez bi hez, bi xwîn û bi xwestekê nû, jiyana nû dibêjim."

Her jinêk ku silahê digire, dibêje ku ew ne tenê jin e — ew azadîye. Ew şer dike, ne bi nefretê, lê bi hez û bi rûmetê. Her ku têkoşîn dikin, ew xewnê jinan yên berê diguhezînin — jinên ku qet dengê xwe nehatiye guhdan, lê îro deng in, pêşeng in, hêza civakê ne.

Şerê wan li dijî DAESH ne tenê bi hêz û çeleng e, ew şereke ya şexsî ye. Ew şereke ya di nav mirovê de ye — şereke ya li dijî tars, dijî xemgînî, dijî "na" ya ku jiyana wan ji dest da.

Ew şoreş tune ye ku bi pirtûkên xwendinê tê fêhmkirin. Ew di xiyabanan de ye. Ew di şehîdan de ye. Ew di awazên jinên Rojava de tê xwendin.

Rojava rûmet e. Rojava berxwedan e. Rojava jin e.
Yekîneyên Parastina Jinê — jiyanê wan şoreş e, strana wan azadîye. Di hez û şerê wan de, dinyayek nû tê xwastin.
Azadî ne xewn e — azadî bi xwîn, bi qurbani, bi deng û berxwedan tê çêkirin.
