- Womens_Protection_Units abstract "The Women's Protection Units or Women's Defense Units (Kurdish: Yekîneyên Parastina Jin) (YPJ) is a military organization that was set up in 2012 as the female brigade of the leftist People's Protection Units (Yekîneyên Parastina Gel, YPG) militia. The YPJ and YPG are the armed wing of a Kurdish coalition that has taken de facto control over much of Syria's predominantly Kurdish north, Rojava.The organization grew out of the Kurdish resistance movement, and as of late 2014 it had over 7,000 (or 10,000, according to TeleSUR) volunteer fighters between the ages of 18 and 40. They receive no funding from the international community and rely on the local communities for supplies and food.The YPJ joined its brother organization, the YPG, in fighting against any groups that showed intentions of bringing the Syrian Civil War to Kurdish-inhabited areas. It has come under increased attacks from ISIS militants and was involved in the Siege of Kobanî.The group played a critical role in rescuing the thousands of Yazidis trapped on Mount Sinjar by IS fighters in August 2014. One fighter said: "We need to control the area ourselves without depending on [the government]... They can't protect us from [ISIS], we have to protect ourselves [and] we defend everyone ... no matter what race or religion they are."The group had been praised by feminists for "confront[ing] traditional gender expectations in the region" and "redefining the role of women in conflict in the region". According to photographer Erin Trieb, "the YPJ is in itself a feminist movement, even if it is not their main mission". She asserted that "they want 'equality' between women and men, and a part of why they joined was to develop and advance the perceptions about women in their culture".Various Kurdish media agency indicate that "YPJ troops have become vital in the battle against I.S." in Kobanî. YPJ achievements in Rojava have attracted considerable international attention as a rare example of strong female achievement in a region in which women are heavily repressed.".
