# 'Stop the Turkish aggression against North and East Syria' and '#WomenDefendRojava' banners, Berlin demonstration (Berlin, 2 November 2019)

Two banners carried at the front of a street march. The left banner, on a purple-and-cream sunburst, shows silhouetted women beside an armoured vehicle and reads 'Gemeinsam verändern wir die Welt!' with the hashtag #WomenDefendRojava. The right banner pairs a portrait of a woman in a red jacket with a Turkish fighter jet, a tank and civilians on a road, headed by a demand for an investigation and 'Stoppt die türkische Aggression'. Behind them are purple women's-movement flags and green-yellow-red flags with a red star.
