This is not just a video:

This video, dance, and song are a powerful protest against the patriarchy that Kurdish women have long been fighting.

Here are some of the most striking elements:

First, we see the Kurdish women breaking free from the burka, boldly stepping forward in their traditional Kurdish attire, which has been suppressed for centuries by Islamic dress codes since the spread of Islam invaded everywhere.

Next, they dance on a graveyard, symbolizing the lives Kurds have sacrificed in the fight against Islamist oppression. Kurds have a saying: "Kurdistan is the graveyard of fascists," emphasizing that tyrants have invaded their homes, attempting to erase their culture and identity, yet never succeeding in stopping their struggle for freedom.

In their vibrant clothing, they don't just dance - they play instruments, shout their freedom with conviction, and perform their fight as daughters, women, mothers, and sisters. Their dance reflects how, after every battle and victory, they wash the darkness from their faces, braid each other's hair, grasp each other's hands with determination, and continue their Kurdish dance - a powerful symbol of their resilience and unity.
