Fate of Women’s Protection Units Post SDF Dissolution
Kurdish media have reported that leaders of the "Women's Protection Units" (YPJ) will meet with the Syrian Interior Minister to discuss the integration of female fighters into state institutions. This comes in light of the announcement to dissolve the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and incorporate them into Syrian governmental structures, raising questions about the future of the women’s units, which form their core component. The units were established in 2013 as an independent military wing that cooperates with the "People’s Protection Units" (YPG), and have trained thousands of Kurdish female fighters under prominent leadership such as Nurooz Ahmad. Indications suggest that the female fighters will not be directly integrated into the regular armed forces; instead, it is proposed that some join the Ministry of Interior to combat terrorism, though the final decision remains uncertain.
