"A delegation from the leadership of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) arrived on Wednesday in Damascus to meet with officials from the Syrian transitional government." Very curious what will come out of this.

Some herbalists in Canada are doing a fundraiser for WJAS! They are one of the organizations that I met in NE Syria last year. They support women in NE Syria through funding health clinics, providing job training, and, important in this context, providing needed materials for displaced people like tents and blankets. While the ceasefire has meant some people who fled Aleppo, Tabqa, or Raqqa can return, many people still cannot. And there are still all the people displaced from Afrin.
More information on the fundraising campaign is here: https://imginn.com/p/DVQ_JeTFeuN/

Updates from The Amargi about the situation in northern Syria. https://www.theamargi.com/posts/critical-phase-for-sdf-damascus-agreement-as-afrin-returns-start
Highlights:
re: the Women's Revolution: "Local sources report that research institutions centred on women’s studies, developed by Kurdish women and forming a key part of the DAANES curriculum, are advocating for the recognition of Kurdish gender studies – an initiative directly at odds with the ideology of the Islamist-led transitional government."Re: possibilities for dusplaced Kurds to return to Afrin: "For many Kurds, the true measure of the agreement’s success rests in Afrin, a city with an overwhelmingly Kurdish population that has been under the control of Turkish-backed factions since 2018, when a Turkish military offensive drove out the vast majority of its Kurdish residents. In Aleppo, which also has a significant Kurdish population, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafizeh face their own distinct set of security and administrative challenges.
On February 17, civil society institutions and DAANES began preparations for the return of approximately 500 displaced families from Afrin, in coordination with international bodies. Sunday’s joint security delegation visit to Afrin, followed by Monday’s assessment of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafizeh, represents the most concrete steps yet toward making those returns a reality.
But the road ahead remains steep. Turkish-backed factions have held onto control of Afrin, while the agreement’s clause on displaced persons, covering Afrin, Tel Abyad (Girê Spî) and Serekaniye, has yet to be meaningfully implemented at scale."
and finally, re: roadblocks to the implementation of the Jan 29 agreement"
"The durability of the agreement depends on factors beyond the control of either the SDF or Damascus, chief among them the stance of the Turkish-backed armed factions, whose continued presence in Afrin and around Kobani directly undermines the agreement’s core commitments. For thousands of displaced Kurdish families sheltering across northeastern Syria, the coming weeks will determine whether these delegations and committees translate into the long-awaited right to return home." -

Since the beginning of January, democratic self-government in Rojava and with it the women's revolution have been under attack by the HTS under the new Syrian president al Jolani, a former Al-Qaeda member, and the Turkish state.
The women's revolution must be defended at all costs, as the achievements of Kurdish women are unprecedented. In Rojava, they fight in their own military units such as the YPJ, which was founded in 2013 and played a key role in the armed struggle against IS and the liberation of Kobanê.
They organise themselves in their own women's courts and women's shelters and are significantly involved in decision-making at every political level.
