<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The concept of masculinity in our society has led to many political, social, economic, cultural and psychological problems\u2014 most notably the oppression and marginalization of women. Under this system, women have been deprived of their rights and made vulnerable.
\nIn addition to such inherited traditions and concepts, which impeded the progress of women and limited their aspirations for a better future, many laws and institutions also threatened women\u2019s freedom. All of these obstacles\u2014\u00a0such as divorce by a man\u2019s individual will, forced marriage, polygamy, and countless other oppressive institutions\u2014\u00a0reflected poorly not only on the condition of women, but on the status of our society as a whole.
\nBased on our belief in the importance of the role of women in the family, which constitutes the basic nucleus of society,\u00a0we believe that women\u2019s freedom must be the basic guarantee for rebuilding democratic families and a free, democratic society. Development in any society is best achieved by activating the role of women and ensuring their participation in the construction and progress of their communities. Therefore, we believe that women must continue their struggle to achieve guarantees that safeguard their dignity. They must take their freedom and their right to control their lives and their children, and must no longer accept any form of marginalization. A women\u2019s liberation movement is urgently needed to confront all forms of backwardness, violence and murder.
\nEnsuring women\u2019s rights and freedoms in this way is the main goal of the Democratic Self-Administration. As such, the Administration must solve all outstanding issues that women face in society, improve their situation, secure their lives, defend them against persecution and violence, and ensure their legitimate rights.
\nUnder these circumstances, we decided to develop a set of basic principles and general provisions relating to the status of women, in order to ensure equality and build a free and democratic society.<\/p>\n
Basic Principles:
\n1.\u00a0 Fighting the reactionary authoritarian mentality in society is the duty of every individual in the areas governed by the Democratic Self-Administration.
\n2.\u00a0 \u00a0Equality between men and women shall be guaranteed in all aspects of public and private life.
\n3.\u00a0 \u00a0Women have the right to be nominees, nominate, and take all political positions.
\n4.\u00a0 \u00a0All institutions must commit to the principle of participatory management.
\n5.\u00a0 Women have the right to form political organizations; social, economic, cultural and rightful defense organizations; and other organizations, including all those that do not violate the\u00a0Social Contract\u00a0principles.
\n6.\u00a0 \u00a0A representative of women\u2019s organizations and human rights organizations is to be present as an observer, at prior invitation from the Council, when discussing laws issued in exceptional cases in the Legislative Council.
\n7.\u00a0 \u00a0When issuing laws relating to women in the Legislative Council, the will of women shall be taken into account.
\n8. Women and men shall be equal in matters of work and payment.
\n9.\u00a0 The testimony of a woman and the testimony of a man shall have equal legal value.
\n10.\u00a0 \u00a0No woman or girl may be married without her consent.
\n11.\u00a0 Cancel dowry because it considers as of material value \u00a0to posses \u00a0the woman and replaced \u00a0by the participation of two parties to insure a participatory \u00a0life .
\n12.\u00a0 Marriage contracts shall be a civil matter.
\n13 .\u00a0 Polygamy shall be prevented.
\n14.\u00a0 Both parties in a marriage are entitled to seek separation, and a couple cannot be divorced by individual will.
\n15.\u00a0 Men and women are to be equal in all matters of inheritance.
\n16.\u00a0 Prevent banning the girl from marrying.
\n17.\u00a0 Killings under the pretext of \u201chonor\u201d are a full-fledged physical, moral, and legal crime, punishable by penalties stipulated in the penal code as the crime of killing, accidentally or deliberately.
\n18.\u00a0 Impose strict and equal punishment to the perpetrator of infidelity on both sides.
\n19.\u00a0 Human trafficking, especially of children and women, is to be criminalized and punished harshly. This includes all types of trafficking, including, but not limited to, sexual exploitation, child labor, and trading in human organs.
\n20.\u00a0 Violence and discrimination against women is to be prevented. Gender-based discrimination is a crime punishable by law. The Democratic Self-Administration should fight against all forms of violence and discrimination through the development of legal mechanisms and services that provide protection, prevention and treatment for victims of violence.
\n21.\u00a0 The Democratic Self-Administration shall ensure the democratic rights of children and protect them from all forms of violence and exploitation.<\/p>\n
General Provisions:
\n22.\u00a0 \u00a0Women and men have equal rights under the nationality law.
\n23.\u00a0 The Democratic Self-Administration ensures for each individual and family, especially children and women, health and social insurance, as well as basic requirements for living in a free and dignified life; as well as providing necessary protection for widows and older women.
\n24.\u00a0 Girls may not marry before the age of eighteen.
\n25.\u00a0 Women have the right to custody of their children until they reach the age of fifteen, whether the mother is married or not. After this, the children have the right to choose, and the duty of the two parents is to secure housing and alimony for their children.
\n26.\u00a0 Children under the age of fifteen who wish to travel require permission from their parents.
\n27.\u00a0 When women\u2019s and family issues are taken to court, a representative from the women\u2019s center must be present. Her opinion shall be non-binding and advisory.
\n28.\u00a0 Working women shall have paid maternity leave for up to three births.
\n29.\u00a0 In the case of divorce, the wife has the right to take all gold jewelry and other items purchased for her for the wedding, or their equivalent value, whether these items are\u00a0in her possession or have been disbursed by her husband.
\n30.\u00a0 The Democratic Self-Administration shall establish centers for pregnant and lactating women who have been sentenced for a crime to spend the duration of their sentences, taking into account their condition and the condition of the fetus and newborn.<\/p>\n
