Feminism, specifically jineology (the science of women), is central to the social revolution taking place in Rojava.
In the Social Contract of the Autonomous Regions of Kobane, Jazira and Afrin of 2014, it is stated that women and men have the same rights.
Much of the focus of the revolution has been in addressing the extreme levels of violence which women in the area have endured as well as increasing women's leadership in all political institutions.
All YPG and YPJ fighters and Asayish have the study of jineology as part of their training, and it is also taught in community centers.
