We received around 60 videos in different ways and means expressing solidarity with the YPJ. From Kurdistan to Abya Yalla and Europe, from Asia to Australia and the USA. So, on that day, people from all over the world came together and found ways to express, symbolise and artistically portray their solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Various public discussions, educational workshops and film-screenings were held \u2013 about the history and meaning of YPJ, about the current political situation in Rojava and Syria. But also about the meaning of self-defense for the women\u2019s and feminist struggle. Women also tought each other techniques of feminist self-defense in the course of the campaign. Others gathered in demonstrations in the cities or displayed huge YPJ-flags in parks, mountains, houses or even in harbour-waters. Many beautiful solidarity-pictures or videos were captured and sent to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ronah\u00ee Hesen from Kongra Star Diplomacy evaluated in an Interview with&nbsp;<em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hawarnews.com\/kr\/kampanyaya-em-hemu-ypj-ne-buye-gerduni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ajansa N\u00fb\u00e7eyan a Hawar<\/a><\/em>: \u201cThe campaign has transformed from grassroots activities into a women\u2019s and people\u2019s movement that has spread to the Middle East, Europe and other parts of Kurdistan. From the very beginning of the campaign\u2019s announcement, marches were held, statements were issued, and cultural and artistic activities were organised. Portraits of YPJ fighters were also hung. Panels and workshops were held on topics such as the role and autonomy of the YPJ, and the fundamental legal principles related to it. From the outset of the campaign, the level of popular support for the YPJ became apparent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ronah\u00ee furthermore said that \u201cthis support and ownership from all over the world puts pressure on the government to accept the YPJ\u2019s status in the constitution.\u201d But the campaign is still continuing with various activities, because until now the YPJ is not accepted by the Syrian transitional government. In Rojava, many activities are already planned and will take place in the course of the month. We also know of activities planned in other regions of the world. If we can assist to set up an event, please contact us and we can provide you with information material of ideas for action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We will keep up the pressure!
