Potraits of PKK Amazons
Colin Delfosse / Out Of Focus
Thousands of women of all ages , entrenched in the confines of Qandil, the mountainous region of Northern Iraq, armed with a strong will and a few kalachnikovs, fight for their ideals. The Kurdistan Free Woman’s movement (PAJK), born from dissent with the PKK (the Kurdistan Worker’s Party), intends to change women’s status in the Kurdish struggle, and throughout the world. It is classed a terrorist organisation by the United States and the European Union but the movement shows no sign of slowing down. Kurd repression has pushed many young women to join the ranks of this guerilla warfare. There are currently more than 2,000 female fighters, mainly from Turkey, but also Syria, Iran, Iraq and Europe, fighting for freedom and their people’s rights, hidden in the scrubland of Autonomous Kurdistan.
