Wow...I love these women...
I have so much respect for these heroes! They have my respect. I wish I was more like them.
Raqqa: The women who helped defeat ISIS
When asked what motivated them to dive into one of the fiercest battles against the terror group to date, the women said they did it both for the Kurdish cause and to liberate the women of Raqqa.
"The leader -- Abdullah Ocalan -- has concentrated on women's freedom, so we are fighting to free women and to liberate people mentally. Our fight is not only against ISIS, our fight is against the chauvinist mentality against women," Afreen said.
