Owing to the economic, political and social transformations, Kurdish women have made great progress.

Today, Kurdish women are members of parliament, ministers, teachers, engineers, lawyers, labourers and other professional bodies.

Traditionally, Kurdish women did not inherit a man's last name.

At a grocery store, a Kurdish woman evidently on a suicide mission blew herself up and injured nine others this year.

One Kurdish woman set herself on fire and was badly injured before a police officer could put out the flames.

The three Kurdish women, the youngest reported to be 19, had been afraid to leave without assurances for their safety.

From 1978, Kurdish women have been involved in original history.

In Syria, the first all-female battalion of Kurdish women was created.

Kurdish women are particularly affected by these things.

In 1994 she became the first Kurdish woman to win a seat in the Turkish parliament.
