Author: Young Internationalist Women

Every revolution’s engine is the youth with it’s spirit to radically change things. We realized that giving importance to the vanguard role of the youth, is one of the secrets of the Rojava Revolution. But the youth identity is rarely talked about. Who is young? What is the role of the youth in society and revolution?And what is special about being a woman and being young at the same time? These and other questions we are discussing with the young women from the Internationalist Youth Commune. Our guests: Bruna from Catalonia and Helin from England – members of the Internationalist Youth Commune of Rojava

In this episode we are talking about the paradox of getting to know you

r own culture in the revolution of a foreign country, funny situations that happened to us in Rojava because of not knowing the local culture and what revolutionary culture is. Controversial discussion about culture, identity and post-modern colonialism… Our guests: Lara who is working in the women’s movement and Gulan from the Internationalist Commune

The aesthetics of resistance – In the middle of a newly discussed invasion against the revolution in Rojava, we want to address the issue of war. War is not only associated with life and death, but also with resistance, great emotions and the struggle for life. While the front is coloured with great resistances, there is the story of heroic friends who play a central and important role with their work. Today we are talking to internationalist women working in medical combat about the current threats against Rojava and what its like to work between life and death. In this episode, we discuss how Rojava is preparing for a new invasion.

In this episode we are talking about the reality of living in a region that is constantly confronted with war. Even though none of us has actively participated in war, living in north-eastern Syria involves being confronted with different war situations. Low-intensity war, warm war, special warfare and many other kinds of war. What this makes with us and the people we have met, is in the focus of our discussions.
