Title: Book Launch for After the Fall: Women, Freedom, and the Rojava Revolution in Post-Assad Syria
Description: In March 2025, radio journalist Virginia Lee was invited by Kurdish-led women's group Kongra Star to join a delegation of women to tour the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES)—a radical experiment in democracy and women's empowerment better known to much of the world as Rojava. Adapted from a podcast she made after returning home, After the Fall allows the reader to join along with Virginia as she meets with women and men engaged in projects like self-managed refugee camps, transformative justice centres for women facing domestic violence, and the women-only militia which was instrumental in the defeat of ISIS: the YPJ.
The talk will also feature updates from the region and reflections on the current state of the struggle in north and east Syria.
