Roja, a 16-year-old Peshmerga recruit from Paveh in Iranian Kurdistan, stands on a rocky outcrop in Erbil, Iraq, on April 14, 2023. She left her homeland in September 2022 to join the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), driven by the feeling of being a second-class citizen under the Islamic Republic. Many Kurdish women like Roja have turned to the Peshmerga, viewing armed resistance as the only means to reclaim their cultural identity. Photo by Keiwan Fatehi/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
