The system based on democratic, communal, women libertarian model of living actualized in Northern Syria led by women maintains in Shehba. Stating that Turkish army and its backed group have attacked this new model of living actualized in Afrin, the women carry out this system in Shehba, where they were forced to migrate. Expressing how they built their lives in Afrin, the women said, “We know how to organize, we live on the basis of the philosophy of our leader Abdullah Öcalan wherever we go.”
Tıl Rıfat Commune member Ayşe Ahmed stated that they carry out their works with the awareness that the communes are the basis of the society, “We never bow to the enemy, we carry out our struggle. Resisting is life for us wherever we are. We had difficulties when we came to Shehba but we know that we can overcome all kinds of difficulties on the basis of our struggle. Of course we have difficulties particularly to have medicines and basic needs. But the people continue their struggle despite all difficulties. We can endure all difficulties until we return to Afrin.”
