Jena sets a sign: Femicide and genocide in the focus of the discussion

feminist solidarity and culture of remembrance in focus

In Jena, an important film screening recently took place, which was launched by the feminist organization "Fighting together". The aim of this event was to draw attention to the upcoming anniversary of the genocide and female in Şengal and at the same time to strengthen the votes of those affected. The performance of the documentary “Hêza” illuminates the profound effects of violence and the tireless struggle of women for their rights.

a film as a testimony of survival

"Hêza", the documentary produced by Derya Deniz, tells the story of Suad Murad Murad Xelef, which was kidnapped with her family during the attack by the Islamic State (IS) in 2014. The film shows its impressive path from captivity to the commander of the Yjş (women's units Şengals). During the demonstration, Suad described her experiences and the atrocities that she and many other women suffered. Her story is not only a direct report on the IS robbery, but also a powerful message about resistance and will to survive.

The motivation of the event

The film demonstration took place as part of the campaign “against female female - are the voice of self -defense” as part of the Tajê women's exemption movement initiated. This campaign is reminiscent of the tragic events of August 2014 when the attacking IS troops led countless women and girls into captivity. The invitations to the event and the advisable words of the speaker led the spectators through the history of the Ezid: inside, in which the fatal attacks in their community were discussed. The importance of these memories is particularly emphasized by the tireless struggles of women who are constantly fighting for their rights and the reconstruction of their homeland.

The power of women in the focus

Special attention paid to the event and cohesion of women in the Şengal. It was emphasized how important it is to put these women at the center of the social discussion, especially at a time when their communities are still under threat to military attacks. The Turkish state carries out permanent drone attacks that endanger the fragile structure of the return and reconstruction in the affected areas.

active participation and messages of hope

After the film screening, those present actively took part in a video campaign in which the five central demands of the Tajê were formulated. These demands include the recognition of the female and genocide in the Şengal as well as an urgent international responsibility of the states that act militarily in the region. The organization "fight together" encouraged all participants to find creative forms of expression in order to spread the concerns of women in the Şengal and to draw attention to upcoming demonstrations in large cities such as Düsseldorf and Berlin.

FAZIT

The event in Jena was not only a step towards sensitization to the painful memories of the IS robbery, but also a powerful sign of solidarity for those affected and their fights. Film and personal stories form a community that wants to stand up together against femalitis and the rights of women. It is to be hoped that these messages will also be heard for a wider public and that there will be scope for change.
