Levka"Caro Sommer: Young people set out to spread the Rojava model as an alternative
Caro Sommer, one of the internationalist young people who went to Suruç in solidarity with Kobanê, emphasized that the Rojava model is an alternative to the capitalist, fascist, colonialist, and monist system.

She stated that there were many shortcomings within anti-fascist organizations regarding women’s issues, which she had consistently criticized. Most recently, by joining the Women Defend Rojava campaign, she had the opportunity to engage both with the Kurdish issue and the women’s issue.
Through this campaign, she realized that the Kurdish struggle embraces a broader perspective that includes ecological, anti-fascist, and women’s struggles. 'During this process, I learned about the struggle of the Kurds. The leading role of women in the struggle in Rojava deeply impressed me. Through this, I also experienced a significant awakening regarding my own identity as a woman. I realized that in Germany, within the male-dominated system, men also do not question their own masculinity. In the end, they too are forced into certain molds and are actually oppressed within this system. But they tend to perceive this as a problem unique to women and prefer to position themselves merely as supporters in solidarity with women,' she said."
