    Jinwar is a village for women and children in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. Its construction began on 25 November 2016, during the Syrian Civil War. Construction of the houses of the villages began in 2017, and it was officially inaugurated on 25 November 2018, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It is in part inspired by the women's village of Umoja, Kenya. It is based on the principle of self-sustainability and aims to give women a safe place to live, without violence and oppression. The word "Jin" means "woman" in the Kurdish language. The word "war" means "space", "land", or "home". Together the word "Jinwar" literally means "woman's place" or "woman's land." The women of Jinwar have created this community to be a place of solace for the oppression women have endured for centuries in Syria. Wikipedia
