ANKARA - Abeer Abu Khdair, the Representative of the Union of Palestinian Women's Committees, said: "The liberation of Palestine is possible with the liberation of women" while Tunisian Democratic Women's Association Chair Yosra Frawes said: "March 8 demos this year will be a breaking point."

Women who create themselves into being with resistance and the women who will respond to the social structure by taking the streets on March 8 like they do every year, will again shout out their demands for equality and freedom. Both women said that fighting against the hegemony of power in the Middle East, where war and violence prevail, as well as the oppression of religious organizations, migration, harassment and rape in the occupied countries, this years March 8 demos will be a breaking point.
 
The Middle East women who take the streets against male dominated governments, evaluated women's problems in their countries and the method of struggle they did not give up for Mesopotamia Agency (MA).
 
'WE TOOK THE STREETS'
 
Palestinian Women's Committees Representative Abeer Abu Khadir explaining the struggle of the Palasinian women, said their biggest problem is the division between them. Khadir said: "We are working on the unification of the women's organizations under one roof to fight against Trump's plan. We took the streets against this plan as the women." 
 
THE LIBERATION OF PALASTINE
 
Khadir's message for March 8 is as follows: "We are dealing with occupation. March 8 demos means a stand against the occupation for us. Our struggle is against the occupation that violates and destroys the rights of women. The liberation of Palastine is only possible with the liberation of women. The women must get rid of the traditions and the male dominated understanding so that they can position themselves to fight for the liberation of Palastine."
 
Tunisian Democratic Women's Association Chair Yosra Frawes, stating that Las Tesis have become the torch song of women's demonstrations, said: "It is a stance against the male violence, a stance against the organized imperial state violence. The best part of it was it had a local and unique stance of its own where ever it was demonstrated.  For example, when women did this in Lebanon, it became specific to Lebanon against the existing institutional order. This has happened all over the world." Frawes emphasizing that this year will be the year of the women's resistance, said: "This years March 8 demos will be the breaking point. We believe there will be a much stronger movement of women comparing the previous years."
