Kurdish Women's Federation Honors Legacy of Martyr Leila Qasim on Anniversary of Her Sacrifice

Statement from the Kurdistan Diaspora Women's Federation commemorating the anniversary of the martyrdom of Leila Qasim:

Leila Qasim, a remarkable Kurdish woman, left an indelible mark on the Kurdistan liberation movement, embodying unparalleled courage in the annals of Kurdish political and national endeavor. Her legacy inspires us all to selflessly contribute to the honor of our homeland and actively engage in the struggle for our nation's liberation from oppression.

In a political landscape where female participation was scarce and arduous, Leila Qasim boldly became the first woman to offer her life in defense of her people's dignity. Her courageous act stands as a beacon of resistance and fortitude, etched proudly in the pages of history. She symbolizes the unwavering resolve of Kurdish women, who, like countless Peshmergas, continue to fight for our cause, each with their unique perspectives and aspirations, united in the pursuit of an independent Kurdistan and the preservation of our cultural identity.
