“As a result, their ideology is the same in order to build a democratic nation and protect the values ​​of all peoples on this geography, but women have their independent characteristic and their bearing is heavier compared to men, and the struggle of women continues to inevitably illuminate their path. But on the other hand, men must also seek salvation from the narrow male cochlear Autocratic and culturally authoritarian.
Vian noted that the protection units of women and fighting women in general had a great role in fighting ISIS, noting that in the campaign to liberate the city of Manbij, for example, the fighting women participated in large numbers of “their fighters and leaders”, and they played a great role in the campaign victory and the liberation of civilians in general and women in particular.
As for the role of women in the political sphere and the economic support of society, Vian pointed out that due to the policies of the ruling regimes in building ignorant and backward societies and opened the way for them to school dropout, economic austerity, underage marriage and many methods, abnormal societal phenomena prevailed in our societies, except that during the North and East Revolution Syria, and the formation of democratic and civil self-management in it and the establishment of bodies and institutions for women within it has been able to enact laws to reduce the marriage of minors, child labor and school dropout for girls and opened the way for many of them to work to improve their living conditions.
She noted that, with regard to the laws and legislations approved by the women’s self-administration, the “Women Protection” Law was issued, which stipulated “combating reactionary authoritarian mentality in society” and making it a duty for everyone in the areas of administration.
The law also approved “equality between men and women”, granting them the right to run for office, to stand for office, and to hold all positions, in addition to entrenching “joint presidencies” for all self-management institutions, in addition to the presence of female representatives in the Legislative Council when discussing the enactment of any legislation or law, whether political or social.
