The new year has started much the same way as the previous one ended – mass poverty, war, discrimination, racism and global fascism on the rise.  A significant event occurred in Paris on the 23 of December – a man open fired on a Kurdish precinct, killing three people. They happened to be well known activists, and this appears to be an intentional, terrorist attack on the Kurdish people living in Paris.

Over the next three weeks on Accent of Women, we’re going to tell this story. My guest is Sarah Marcha, a spokesperson for the Kurdish Women’s Association based in Paris, the group of people who were directly targeted by this attack.
