Sakine Cansız, a founding member of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and one of the leading figures in the Kurdish women’s movement, who was killed with two other female activists in Paris a decade ago, predicted today’s nationwide “Jin, Jîyan, Azadî – Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising led by Kurdish women in Iran, way back in 2011.

Cansız’s 2011 interview during a conference of the Eastern Kurdistan Women’s Union, which included an analysis of and predictions about the women’s struggle in the Kurdish-populated regions of western Iran known as Rojhilat, was published for the first time in 2022.

Cansız stresses in the interview that the Kurdish women’s struggle has the power to lead not only Kurdish women but also all Persian, Baloch and Azeri women in the region.

“Women have no friends other than the struggle for freedom,” she says.

Emphasising the historical importance of women organising in Rojhilat, Cansız says, “The greatest response to the system that stole women’s freedom from them was women joining the struggle.”

Born in Tunceli (Dersim) in eastern Turkey in 1958 and becoming one of the first pioneers of the Kurdish Women’s Movement, Cansız was imprisoned after the 12 September 1980 military coup in the infamous Diyarbakır (Amed) Prison, which would later go down in the country’s history for the inhumane treatment and torture of its prisoners.

After she was released from prison in 1991, she was among the founders of the Patriotic Women’s Association, the first Kurdish women’s institution in the metropolitan city of Istanbul.

Cansız was still an active and prominent member of the Kurdish women’s movement when she was killed in 2013 in a Kurdish information centre in Paris. The gunman, who was Turkish, allegedly had connections with the Turkish intelligence service (MİT) and as well as Cansız, he killed two other female activists; Fidan Doğan, who was at the time a diplomatic representative of the Kurdistan National Congress, and Leyla Şaylemez, a Kurdish youth movement activist.

That incident has remained unresolved and has caused great distress among the Kurds, fuelling mistrust in European institutions.

"Sara" Sakine Cansiz 1958-2013

Revolutionary and co-founder of the PKK, the political and military movement for Kurdish liberation.

"the excitement of entering the movement as a young woman--and discovering quickly that she would have to challenge traditional gender roles as she rose among its ranks. And she succeeded: total gender equality is now one of the central tenets of the PKK."

She wrote 2 memoirs about her activist youth and when she was in prison.

She was sadly assassinated by the ethnoreligious fascists in Turkey in 2013.

She survived 40 years of political involvement in a nation that didn't want her to exist.

Sakine Cansız was one of the first women to join the Kurdish freedom movement, before it even had a name. She was one of only two women to participate in the PKK’s 1978 founding congress. In May 1979 she was arrested, and like everyone who refused to buckle under arrest or betray her comrades, she was tortured harshly. She was the first woman from the Kurdish freedom movement to mount a political defense in court. Among the prisoners she was considered a leading personality. For 12 years in various Turkish prisons, she maintained a resistance. Soon after her release in 1991, she did legal work at the party academy in Lebanon and from there went to the guerrillas in the mountains. Starting in the late 1990s, she lived mainly in Europe. In 1998 France granted her political asylum. She was shot dead by the Turkish intelligence agency MİT, during the triple murder of Kurdish activists in Paris, France, on 9 January 2013, along with two other female Kurdish activists, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Söylemez.

The Niweger Culture and Arts Center is producing a short film about leading PKK cadre Sakine Cansiz’s resistance in the Amed Prison.

The short film titled “3 Days in 10 Years” depicts Cansiz’s resistance against the Turkish state oppression and tyranny.

30 members of the cultural center are acting in the film, which is almost complete.

The film takes inspiration from Cansiz’s book titled My Whole Life Was A Struggle and includes comments and memories from Cansiz’s friends in the struggle.

Sakine Cansız (Sara), Fidan Doğan (Rojbîn), Leyla Şaylemez (Ronahî), Paris, January 9, 2013

Sara, Rojbîn, Ronahî – Jin Jiyan Azadî

«Il 9 gennaio 2013 Sakine Cansiz, Fidan Doğan e Leyla Şaylemez, tre compagne del movimento di liberazione curdo, sono state uccise da un agente dei servizi segreti turchi (MIT) a Parigi, nel cuore della grande Europa "democratica". Nonostante siano chiari i motivi che hanno portato a questo assassinio, non ci sono ancora verità e giustizia per le nostre compagne. Queste tre donne, che gli stati occidentali hanno chiamato "terroriste", avevano deciso di dedicare la loro vita alla lotta per la libertà. Erano bellissime, belle perché libere, belle perché amavano i popoli e le persone, belle perché credevano nella rivoluzione.» – Rete Jin
