Jinê Land -Where women keep the earth alive

"Jinê Land - Where women keep the earth alive" tells the story of women shaping the ecological and social future of Rojava, north-eastern Syria. In a region still recovering from war and fragmentation, women lead the fight for environmental restoration, sustainable agriculture, and community self-governance. Since 2012, Kurdish, Assyrian, Arab, and Armenian communities have self-organized under a model inspired by democratic confederalism, integrating women's liberation and ecology. Women manage schools, cooperatives, health centers, and local councils, ensuring their leadership in both social and ecological spheres. Villages like Jinwar embody this vision: female-led, sustainable, and resilient, offering a space for education, self-reliance, and communal life. Through photography, the project captures the intersection of freedom, ecology, and community, revealing a radical social experiment where women are both the stewards of the land and the architects of a new society.
