|concepts:description="Jineoloji is a river finding its own way. The ideas of every woman, her study, the data she finds, the secrets her mother whispers in her ear, the power of interpretation, these are all drops that strengthen the flow of this river. Its most beautiful aspect is its spontateous enlightenment of social blindness. Jineoloji is ensuring that knowledge conveyed to it is carried to society. Furthermore, jineoloji is embellishing research in all fields, whether economy, health or history."

|concepts:summary=Jineolojî, meaning “science of women” in Kurdish, is a revolutionary approach to knowledge production that places women’s liberation at the heart of building a free, ecological, and communal society. Emerging from over four decades of the Kurdish women’s freedom struggle and introduced by Abdullah Öcalan in 2008, it challenges patriarchal, positivist, and Eurocentric scientific traditions, redefining womanhood as a social, political, and historical identity beyond biological determinism and emphasizing the reconnection of women, society, nature, and life. Drawing on the Kurdish Women’s Movement, ancient communal traditions, and global histories of women’s resistance, Jineolojî seeks to rewrite history from women’s perspectives, collect and share women’s wisdom, and serve as a guiding science for a women’s revolution that transforms gender relations and fosters communal living. In practice, it operates through grassroots education, research, and organizing—linking local working groups, municipal policies, and autonomous women’s structures in Kurdistan and beyond—using methods such as popular education, historical research, cultural revival, and political participation. Since 2015, it has grown into a network of academies, research centers, publications, and public programs, confronting state repression, militarized occupation, and the co-optation of feminist theory, while insisting on structural transformation over integration into exploitative systems. In a world marked by patriarchal violence, authoritarianism, and ecological crisis, Jineolojî offers both a methodology and a political horizon for liberation, communal life, and democratic ecology.
