The place where 40% of fighters are women


                                               Gulan, 19, Zerya, 18, and Zilan, 17, Sinjar, Iraqi Kurdistan.

After the Syrian war began in 2011, Berlin-based photographer Sonja Hamad saw many images of Kurdish female fighters -- but felt they did not do the women justice.
