Petrol-Is “Women’s Magazine” – “Women Must Organise!”

The women’s service of Petrol-Is (translator’s note: a petro-
leum workers’ union in Turkey) who produce a “women’s maga-
zine” concentrating on the problems and needs of women workers
came to the resistance tent of the Kazova workers in order to do
an interview with the women workers in the Kazova resistance.

The magazine is produced every two months and the next

issue would come out a month later, with an article about the
women in the Kazova resistance. In the interview Kazova women
workers were asked about their problems and about their lives in
the resistance.

The women in the Kazova resistance expressed considerable
gratitude to the “women’s magazine” of Petrol-Is and called on all
to support resistance, especially trade unions.
