The international campaign ‘Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan, a Political Solution to the Kurdish Question’ launched globally in October 2023, continues. Within the scope of the campaign, the physical freedom of Leader Abdullah Öcalan is demanded in actions and events organized around the world by the Kurdish people and their friends. Reading Days, where Abdullah Öcalan's books are read and discussed, is one of these events.

Many people have attended the Reading Days organised by Zenubiya Women's Community in Raqqa since 9 July. Abdullah Öcalan's 3rd defense, titled ‘Sociology of Freedom’, was read on the Reading Days. Women who participated in the Reading Days spoke to ANHA.

Wîsaq Îsamîl, Director of the Economic Committee of Raqqa Zenubiya Women's Community, stated that Abdullah Öcalan's book ‘Sociology of Freedom’ evaluates many social issues related to governance, freedom and women. Îsamîl stated that all women should read Öcalan's books and said, ‘Leader Abdullah Öcalan analyses the individual and shows the way to take an active role in the construction of a free and democratic society.”

Wesfiya El Eli, member of the Peace (Reconciliation) Committee of the Zenubiya Women's Community, said: ‘Thanks to the analyses of Leader Abdullah Öcalan, I realised the impact of the policies of the capitalist and sovereign systems on society and especially on women. Women are very strong. Women are strong enough to uphold their responsibilities towards society. But the male-dominated system and the policies of oppression against women have negatively affected the roles of women. Leader Abdullah Öcalan strongly defeated these policies. Leader Abdullah Öcalan's philosophy highlights the freedom of women and society.”

Nûrelhuda Mihemed, a member of the Education Committee of the Zenubiya Women's Community, drew attention to the role of women in the revolution in Northern and Eastern Syria and said, ‘Women played a very important role in the revolution thanks to Leader Abdullah Öcalan. Through education, we women have succeeded in standing against the patriarchal mentality that surrounds women."
