Together with the women's movements in Turkey, we, the Kurdish women's movement, are working on electoral activities in order to put an end to the misogyny of this fascist male power, to prevent the genocide of women that it has continued uninterruptedly for years, to put an end to the genocide perpetrated by fascism on the Kurdish people, and to ensure that the peoples have the right to live in an equal, fair and democratic country.

All our female friends and people involved in these studies should know that; Regardless of the outcome, we were able to stand against neo-fascism, which has regained power thanks to the will and determination of our people for democracy. This choice is not a legitimate choice. The government did not win this election under equal, democratic and transparent conditions. The government has declared its false victory by distorting the truth with a politics of violence, hatred and lies. For Erdoğan, this victory will only be referred to as the 'Pyrus victory'.

The democratic attitude and determination that emerged as a result of this effort and its courage is our greatest achievement. In order to embrace and crown this success, we, as TJA, have a word against history to be the leading force that resists and succeeds in the new era as well. Together, we will win with our organized strength, we will win.”
