The Free Women’s Movement (Tevgera Jınên Azad -TJA) held a protest with erbanes and torches on the Ten-Eyed Bridge in the Sur district of Amed, wearing national costumes, as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November. The women chanted the slogans “Jin Jiyan Azadî” and “Bijî berxwedana jina” while playing the erbanes.
Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM) Amed MP Adalet Kaya made a statement.
Kaya said: “Today, we learned that the slogan Jin Jiyan Azadî, which we have been shouting together with all women of the world in the streets, squares, parliament, everywhere in the world, has been banned by the governor of Diyarbakır. As women, we condemn those who put obstacles in front of women and the governor who made this decision. We condemn this prohibitionist mentality and say women’s life and freedom with women everywhere in the country. We salute the struggle for life and education rights of women in Afghanistan. They are in the squares for their rights, and we say ‘Zen, Zendeki, Azadî’. We will continue our struggle against the prohibitionist mentality. No power can stand against this struggle. We will never be afraid and will not obey against prohibitionist policies.”
