On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Bafel Jalal Talabani, President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, affirmed that the PUK has consistently championed women's rights and firmly believes in their roles and capabilities.

In his address to women, President Bafel stated:

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we reaffirm our dedication to supporting, defending the rights of, and realising the aspirations of women. We emphasise fostering a more conducive and healthy environment for Kurdish women to engage increasingly in management centres and contribute to the country's development and building a brighter future.

The PUK has consistently and proudly championed women and their relentless endeavours to fight violence, promote justice, and foster a stable society. It has firmly recognised the role and capacities of women, who constituted an influential component of the party's structures. Certainly, we will keep going with the same commitment and spirit in the future, with women as our partners in advancing towards a more prosperous Kurdistan.

On this day, we must accentuate our unwavering commitment to confronting and prosecuting individuals who harass and perpetrate violence against women in whatever form. Wherever there are violations, we will challenge them and take legal action against anyone at any rank and position. We assert that justice and equality in society are unattainable if women are not afforded peace, stability, and protection of their rights and aspirations.
