Qamişlo: „Lasst Eva Maria und Ahmed frei!“

„Wir kennen die Methoden dieser Milizen, insbesondere im Umgang mit Frauen. Wir haben nicht vergessen, was sie Frauen angetan haben: Gewalt, Misshandlung und Erniedrigung. Deshalb tragen die HTS-Regierung und ihre Verantwortlichen die volle Verantwortung für alles, was Eva Maria widerfahren könnte.“

Strikes across Syria in reaction to neoliberal policies embraced by al-Sharaa and the continuing rise in cost of living. Teacher and freight truck driver strikes, port worker mobilizations, doctors and street venders organizing protests.

"With al-Sharaa’s government showing no indication that it is about to radically change its policies, and more and more people losing faith, change will need to come from below. Using this period of mass action to connect struggles against exploitation and oppression, to join forces in the mobilisations organised across the country, is certainly the best way to build a political alternative rooted in the interests of the country’s popular classes."

Frauenrechte in Raqqa?

„Die Invasion der Gebiete der Selbstverwaltung Nord- und Ostsyriens durch die syrische Übergangsregierung und die daraus resultierende Aberkennung der Frauenrechte ist nicht nur eine militärische oder administrative Veränderung“, erklärt die arabische Frauenorganisation Zenobia. „Sie stellt einen gefährlichen Rückschritt für das Recht der Frauen auf Arbeit, Teilhabe und Mitsprache dar.“

No More Women’s Rights in Raqqa

After Raqqa, the capital of ISIS, was liberated by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Emel and her colleagues founded the Arab women’s organization Zenobia with the dream of eradicating the misogynistic ISIS ideology in the city.

First article I have seen that quotes someone from the Zenobia Assembly, an Arab women's organization that was affiliated with Kongra Star in NE Syria. Zenobia Assembly was most active in Tabqa, Raqqa, and Deir Ezzor. You can hear them talk about their organization here: https://afterthefallpod.libsyn.com/episode-two-a-contested-city

I had heard from contacts on the ground that women from the Zenobia Assembly, which was affiliated with the Autonomous Administration, had to flee the area when Transitional Government troops moved in. But this is the first article I have seen quoting someone on the ground.
