Celebrating Kurdish Female Fighters

The Project

Females on the Frontline is a campaign that highlighted the Kurdish female fighters that have emerged as popular figures for their effectiveness and bravery in war against ISIS. This campaign was launched for International Women’s Day 2017 to continue inspiring the world to stand up for women’s equality.

The Artist

Spirit of America’s mission is to engage citizens in preserving the promise of a free and better life. We do this by working alongside troops and diplomats to help them save and improve lives, promote values shared by Americans and our allies, strengthen relationships with allies, friends and partners, and demonstrate that the United States is a friend of those who seek a better life.

The Goal

To celebrate the bravery of Kurdish female fighters and to raise awareness about the shared value of gender equality between Westerners and Kurds. The Kurdish Project partnered with Spirit of America to create a film dedicated to the Kurdish women on the frontlines of the fight with ISIS. We also conducted interviews with some of the fighters, allowed people to thank the women, and have provided a donation link to directly support the Peshmerga with basic items, first aid kits, and medical supplies.
