if I asked you to imagine one
Syrian and Iraqi woman madonna
the Middle East what it could
come to mind is a photograph like that
a woman stepping backwards covered
maybe crying with some children
they are dirty in a refugee camp
a victim image or what
it could come to mind is an image
totally opposite this a woman
very made up maybe doing the dance
belly full of gold
and these two stereotypes are there
a third added
lately the woman fighting one
fighter woman who even in the
death is compared to angelina jolie
because of its beauty rather than speaking
what he is fighting for in
2014 I started traveling and
cover the war in Iraq in Syria for
different international media
here I am during one of the big ones
offensive to recover the city of
kirkuk around also the cooking iraq e
on these trips I had the opportunity
to meet to talk with many
people and above all to scratch the
surface and understand that the role of the
women
there was so much more there was another truth
there was a downside of the medal ie
women some women wanted and want
be the protagonists of their life
of their emancipation and they want one
world more just and for them ayane the
revolution the title of the film starts
just from this need to tell
the other part is the part of women who
in fact they want to fight is a movie
made by women on women and history
tells three women one in iraq one in
Syria and one in Afghanistan that all
days fight and above all
they risk their lives
to help other women ours
journey started in baghdad
from now on I will show you only frames
of the film is precisely this is a dawn us
we flew to baghdad to get to know either
and the organization called
memo ofi organization for the
freedom of Iraqi women e
especially the founder of a nardò
ahmed jan are was born in baghdad by one
bourgeois family went has had the
luck to go to school and in 1992
with husband and son he decides to leave
run away from the regime of saddam hussein
they go to canada she finishes the master in
architecture begins to work have
a home finally have security
tranquility
something that had never before baghdad
had but felt like a plant
without roots my life does not have one
purpose she always felt this
empty inside during all those years
until 2002 in 2002 the Americans
they begin to declare they want to
invade Iraq and at the same time
she receives calls from the capital
Iraqi
women were kidnapped on the street and
then sold to the traffickers of beings
human or pushed to prostitution
so she in a hurry decides to
write the statute of the organization
and in May 2003 he moved to
baghdad alone leaving behind
husband and son because he wants to help them
we see the anarch women in one
during a demonstration in baghdad
wants to help women escape from
domestic violence but above all from
crime of honor the crime of honor is
that practice widespread in Iraq for
where men are holders of honor
and of the family
and if a woman is caught in
ambiguous attitudes or comes
raped to the family comes to him
know
the woman has to die and to do it
they take it down from a cliff and
the palm is cut off by the left hand
then it is hung on the door of the
family at the door of the house to do
see to the villages or the society that the
and the honor has been returned to
family
still today in baghdad
there are hundreds of bodies that
in the morgue they carry the signature precisely
of honor killing
the association exactly what it does
this is a time when these women
who are part of the organization of
office told us not only the
their history but as the organization le
he changed his life because
the organization or trust a second one
possibility for these women
the first thing give a new identity
very important thing
otherwise the families that are always
on their tracks and they want to want
killing it
they would find them immediately and then above all
in baghdad without documents you can not
turning is essentially impossible
after which a route begins a route
that starts with the literacy then a
course of feminism to make people understand
these women
what are their rights that are not and
they must not be slaves but they can
to aspire to a different life
then there are painting courses because
alt through the art we know helps
overcoming violence, the archers who are in it
very much to this whole journey
because they are not an NGO that offers
only services but we want them
that their women are transformed from
victims to defenders and paladins of the
rights in recent years, that is since 2003
to date the last 15 years janare
managed to save at least 500 women and
even today its shelters do not have one
legal status so I’m completely
illegal but despite everything janar yes
Move tries to create in your opinion
to raise public awareness
I met her
sent to speak to the United Nations the
first time just to tell that
the situation for women in Iraq is
still a mess but you can change from
baghdad
we move about 700 kilometers to
raqqa Syria
You may have already heard of it
was the couple for four years
capital of leasys and where it was up to
November of 2017
17 November 2017 a collection
very particular made by Kurdish units
Arab militias with the help of the states
united have regained the city a
march inside the city 60 thousand men and
women and there was her role 2 light
rosi da ferrata is a very petite woman
and to me it comes more or less to my shoulder
to a single great habit that are i
long hair up to the pelvis
before the war isis told me
who had it up to his ankles but it is
but she is an extremely respected woman
he has a beautiful smile that unfortunately
it does not use so often and is a huge one
military strategist his references
they are bismarck napoleone and saladin isis
on his size he put a million
dollars
rosi is 37 years old and has grown up overalls
she was born raised in qamishli in the north
of Syria almost at the border with the
Turkey in that Kurdish area of Syria
but the Kurds have always been considered
so series citizens so it is for
this as Kurdish and above all like
pink woman hear has heard growing up
who had no rights
and it is always for this reason that in 2012 it has
decided to join values and to peugeot
the women’s protection units were
in four today, six years later
there are 24 thousand women who choose to
wearing the uniform make a choice of
life also abandon theirs
identity their old identity ne
take
and dedicate their existence to
revolution and above all protection
of civilians and the protection of others
women when they go to the academy
in addition to military training there is also
a political formation that takes
inspired by the writings of abdullah ocalan
founder of the pkk that says if you want
change society
change is possible only if before
there is a revolution of women
and this is where it comes into play
the teaching of a biological because
when roses units come into a
new territory
they want to carry on even one
gender equality want to change
society and above all give a new one
hope therefore in a village in
any the village they take
which resume from isis fan elect
they immediately get elected by the citizens
a mayor man is a mayoral woman today
in the area controlled by the Kurds
so-called rose goes
women are in politics in the courts
in diplomacy in the police and indeed
polygamy was in the military
banned immediately there are no more
marriages between minors despite being
five years have passed since the beginning of
this revolution the road is still
long and definitely time and all
women will not stop once
defeat leasys I will give java that had been
a movement that surely has
influenced so many other women around
for the world and many other movements
let’s go to kabul
today, Afghanistan is one of the places
worse where to be born a woman in 2001 i
Americans enter Afghanistan
declaring that they would have freed them
women 17 years apart 87 per
one hundred women suffer violence 87
percent
86 percent can not read e
write only 14 percent went to
school can not women can not
go around without a veil can not
go around the villages without burqas
they could be stoned in the piazza, not
have rights and these thirty years of
consecutive war in Afghanistan not
they have done nothing but expand these
problems and it is here that if you like to make yes
it moves works if it ties to be the first
female spokesperson for anne enough that the
Afghan solidarity party and the
first woman to have this role
and she comes from a context
revolutionary in the sense that his father
in the early eighties he decided
to hug the rifle and fight the
however, unfortunately, Russians did not succeed
so he the family left are
went first to Iran and then to Pakistan
in pakistan if you start working
since when at 12 years with the others
women helps them collect clothing
he understands that we need to give you an education
we must educate women and
from very young even before
return to afghanistan and below e
Afghanistan under the control of the
Taliban
illegally enters the country and does
small and small training courses
today she is back in Afghanistan and if she is
puts his face in all
battles and in particular that for the
women
she is critical against
the United States the born the lords of the
war the drug lords
the Taliban to many enemies included
the government but in spite of this it is not
stop
she arrives where the government fails to
to arrive because unfortunately Afghanistan
today at 72 percent and checked
precisely by Taliban or lords of the
drug but she does not care she goes on
meets women organizes courses of
literacy organizes courses of
work puts us the face precisely
we said but all this has a price
he does not have a home he can not have her alive
completely under escort they tried
to kill her to follow her to kidnap the
shut them up anyway they do not have it
done
and all this you do not care because
all in all the struggle without sacrifice is
impossible to promote events for
democracy and is sure that with the
efforts sooner or later will really succeed in
change his country these three stories
that I told you are very different
they have practices from each other
which are very different but they also have them
common denominators
the first is that change passes
of education women must go to
school because only so knowing how to read
and writing having an education can
also help other women and do precisely
this process of empowerment that is
very important because together then
these women form a community the
community that supports these three women
which claims that it protects them because
these if you have roch from and jan are are
an example of what can be done but
alone could not do anything and
especially one thing they keep
all three all three is that this
path must be shared
it must be done with men
because otherwise the change does not
it will be possible to walk together
change mentality
otherwise all efforts will be in vain
thank you
