SYRIA. Andivar. Rojava. Farashin Mehriva, 21, from Qamishlou: "In order to defend the women of the world and my country, I joined YPJ three years ago. I believe that the role of female fighters is much more important than the role of male fightes, because they are already free, but we are fighting for the freedom of all the women in the world. I fought with ISIS in Tel-Marouf village. We fought back for a while until we got back the village, but the surrounding villages are still occupied by their forces. I was fighting with ISIS members door to door, shooting them in people's homes. First I was shooting at them with a Doshka. But then we were attacked and some of my comrades were injured. So I started using a Kalashnikov rifle. I have lost my friends, like Arin and Bahar, but I promise them that I will continue their path. ISIS and many other anti-women groups want to wipe women off the Earth. But YPJ won't allow that."
