JIN WAR, Syria – The Kurdish women of Rojava have gained international fame for their strength and determination as they fight on the frontlines in the war against ISIS.
But in a country that has suffered under seven years of brutal conflict, many women have lost husbands and children, and are left with young children and no land or house.
A group of women, with the support of UN bodies and women organizations in the self-autonomous region, are building an all-female village – Jin War, meaning Woman’s Land.
