Hey, you know, the world's kind of in a real scary place right now, with a creeping authoritarianism and liked HEAs and all of the horrible stories we hear about every week. I'm Robert Evans. I'm a journalist and I cover the international fascist movement, And in two thousand, nineteen July of that year, I decided to do something a little bit different. Instead of covering horror, I wanted to go look for hope, and I found it in a
place you might find kind of unlikely, northeastern Syria. The region I visited is known as Rojava, and when the Western media covers it, they mostly just refer to these people as the Kurds. Since two thousand and thirteen, a loose alliance of revolutionaries over there have been fighting to not just drive back Isis, but to establish something of a utopia, an egalitarian, feminist, eco conscious community in a place that previously had known mostly war and terror. In
the Women's War. I'll take you to this place, and I'll introduce you to the revolutionaries ating to build it, brave women who battle for equality with an a K forty seven, with a spade and with a pen. Follow me as I travel to a land of war and hope, a place trapped on the edge of utopia and oblivion. I'm Robert Evans. Listen to the Women's War on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or ever you Todore podcasts.
