Co-Presidency

Co-Presidency entails the shared leadership of a male and female person, aiming at the mobilization and active involvement of women in all spaces of life and the political sphere in an equal and representative way, overcoming the patriarchal model of society, politics and labor. 

Article 24 of the Social Contract in the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria says: 

“The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria adopts the system of co-chair-ship in all political, social, administrative and other fields and considers it a principle of equal representation between the sexes, which contributes to the organization and consecration of the democratic confederal system for women as their own entity.”
