Jineology

Common card · No. 274964

Jineology (Kurdish: Jineolojî) is an ideology advocated for and practiced by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Originally, developed by the Kurdish Women's Freedom Movement, its theoretical formulations may also be found in the writings of Abdullah Öcalan, the representative leader of the PKK. Jineology may be considered to be a women's paradigm. Jineologists advocates for the abolition of patriarchal systems and of women's oppression. Jineology is a component of democratic confederalism, a philosophy that underpinned the governance of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (also known as Rojava). Jineology has been described as a feminist movement, but this description is not uniformly accepted by its practitioners.
