Rojava Solidarity Stall
Atrium, Other
To help fundraise for the Kurdish Red Crescent and stand in support of Rojava, Global Justice Stirling is holding a stall in the Atrium on Friday 27 February.
Rojava, after declaring autonomy during the Syrian civil war in 2011, has been building a pluralistic and women-led democracy. Alongside helping fight in the units that defeated the Islamic State.
However, currently, Rojava is facing a large-scale invasion and Islamist takeover. With international support from the West (primarily the US, Israel, and EU), the central Syrian army and Turkish-backed jihadist proxy militias, are attacking the Democratic Administration of North and East Syria.
Although a tentative ceasefire has been agreed, Kobane remains under seige and aid is not reaching those in need. The Kurdish Red Crescent is raising money to help provide Kurds with the essential medical care and sanitation.

To help raise money for this essential aid, Global Justice Stirling is holding a stall in the Atrium where we will be selling baked goods and customisable vinyl print clothing and tote bags.
