Distro - Kurdish Peshmerga Female Fighters 

Peter van Agtmael 

On the outskirts of Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan’s most influential city and capital, there are the camps of the armed Iranian-Kurdish militia group known as Kurdistan Freedom Party (KAP). These peshmerga, or Kurdish militants, have 1/3 of women in its party, which aims for an independent Kurdish state. Closer to the Iranian border in Sulaymaniya is also the base of Komala, an anti-imperialist Iranian-Kurdish nationalist party founded in 1969. It’s base has been attacked by missiles and drones from the Iranian regime after uprisings began in Iran following the killing of Mahsa Jina Amini.
