Abdullah Ocalan's Concept of "Jineology" as a Theory of Women's Social Revolution in Kurdistan

This study is devoted to the social and political ideas of the leader of the Kurdish revolutionary movement Abdullah Ocalan on women's emancipation. The purpose of the article is to reveal the main theses of the concept of "jineology" (from the Kurdish word "jin" – woman) – the political theory of the female social revolution, the author of which is Abdullah Ocalan. The relevance of the topic of the article is related to the issues of the political and legal status of women in the Middle East and the unique social experiment that is currently taking place in Syrian Kurdistan. The revolutionary forces in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan) have managed to build a society based on respect for human rights and gender equality. The scientific value of the work lies in the fact that there are few studies in Russian science devoted to the ideas of Abdullah Ocalan's women's revolution. Most of the materials are either works by foreign authors, or journalistic materials.
