Prior to the ceasefire announcement on the 30th of January 2026, Kurdish communities and regions had been embroiled in ongoing armed conflict with the Syrian army for over a month. In light of the war and the hardships endured by the people of Rojava, we would like to invite you to this fundraiser in support of those affected.
This event will feature a panel discussion on current developments in Rojava (Western Kurdistan). The aim is to highlight the perspectives of the people of Rojava and shed light on the background of existing issues. The conversation will focus particularly on analysing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Panel participants:
