Guerrilleras en #Myanmar muestran su solidaridad con las compañeras de las #YPJ a #Rojava

"Nosotras, las mujeres libres de #WITCH declaramos nuestra solidaridad y lucha compartida con las mujeres libres de Rojava. Las YPJ, Kongra Star y todas las mujeres de las estructuras revolucionarias, que han construido las bases de una vida libre, están ahora bajo una gran amenaza por el estado-nación sirio. Nuestro movimiento ha obtenido una gran fuerza de las mujeres de Kurdistán. Aquí en las Colinas Chin, en el camino de las mártires internacionalistas de la lucha kurda como Anna Campbell y Tîjda Zagros, hemos hecho una nueva revolución contra el fascista y patriarcal ejército birmano. Desde Chinram a Rojava, y a través del mundo entero, la revolución de las mujeres es una lucha compartida. Sin mujeres libres no hay revolución. ¡Mujer, Vida, Libertad!" #WeAreAllYPJ
