Left-wing Kurdish-led resistance fighters are defending the city of Kobani from the brutal ‘Islamic State’. Women are in the front lines of the fight against this misogynistic force. Kobani is a predominantly Kurdish city in northern Syria that is part of the Rojava liberated zone. Rojava has set a great example of women’s liberation, social justice and democracy. It is an inspiring example for the whole Middle East. Guest speaker: Basak Gel (Kurdish Association). 6:30pm (meal from 6pm). Resistance Centre, Level 5, 407 Swanston St, City. Organised by Green Left Weekly & Socialist Alliance.
