Impressions from the women's conference that was held on 17th of March 2026.

Statement to the Public and Our People

In recent days, and within the framework of psychological warfare and disinformation campaigns, false reports and malicious allegations have been circulated on social media regarding the killing of an individual named Alaa al-Din al-Amin. These attacks directly target our social system and the achievements of the revolution.

We officially declare that our units and members have no connection whatsoever to this incident. The accusations directed at our military forces are baseless and represent deliberate attempts to undermine trust between the people and our forces.

The targeting of our commander, Destina Kobani, constitutes an attack on the will of women and the dignity of resistance. We affirm that our comrade has absolutely no involvement in this incident.

We call on our society to remain vigilant in...

To Our People and Public Opinion

On the occasion of the arrival of the spring of peoples, we extend our greetings on Newroz, the symbol of rebirth and revolution, as well as on the blessed month of Ramadan—especially to Leader Abdullah Öcalan, the families of the martyrs, and our resilient people.

History bears witness that Newroz is not merely a celebration of the coming of spring, but a revolution against the oppression of Dehak. Just as Kawa the Blacksmith dispelled the darkness of his time with the spark of Newroz, heralding a new dawn for humanity, today we, the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), continue our tireless struggle to defend the legacy of resistance against the mentality of modern-day Dehaks in the twenty-first century...

Happy Newroz!
Ramadan Kareem!
Long live women’s resistance!
Woman, Life, Freedom!

Newroz celebrations

Newroz is a celebration of spring, fire and resistance. It is the story of the blacksmith Kawa’s struggle against the oppressors. It is the story of a rebellion against tyranny. And just as the flame marked victory, so too will the flame of the YPJ never be extinguished.

Congratulations from the YPJ fighters on Newroz

Good news for Eid and Newroz: as part of the prisoner exchange, eight YPJ fighters have also been released.

If YPJ is integrated into the new Syrian army, it would lead to significant changes

Under the agreement of 29 January, Rojava’s civilian structures and military forces are to be integrated into the Syrian state. So far, the YPJ has not been part of this integration. YPJ spokesperson Ruksen Mohammed discusses what this means and the dangers it poses. She also highlights the obstacles standing in the way of a successful agreement, emphasises global solidarity and makes it clear that no positive outcome can be achieved without the participation of YPJ or women in general.

On the occasion of Akitu

As the new spring arrives and nature comes back to life, we, the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to our Syriac, Assyrian and Chaldean peoples, and to all women, on the occasion of Akitu.
Akitu is not merely the start of a new year; it is a symbol of resistance and a deep-rooted presence in Mesopotamia. We believe that a democratic life is secured through the will of free women and the alliance of peoples.

May this festival be a means of bringing peace and victory to all the peoples of the region. In the spirit of “Woman, Life, Freedom” (Jin, Jiyan, Azadî), we wish you a happy New Akitu Year!
