Syria

You know, everyone has his methods to feel alive and don't needs to spit in the mirror in the morning when you see your face.

My is to try to do something useful in those places where the value of life seems to count as much as a dry shit.

I have a series of unshakable beliefs on human rights, social contracts, solidarity, internationalism, equality, women's self-determination, in short, all this foolish romantic anarchist ideas that would solve the world's problems.

I've found out a lot of the time that the problems in the world are complicated to solve, but I've never stopped believing it.

I'm just an old, foolish girl, and everyday is worse than that.

Traveling and knowing the rest of this world has always been one of pleasure of my life.

In the last few years, I have been involved in healthcare cooperation: in short, there is something I can do, that is my job, and there are contexts in which basic rights, such as reproductive health, are still worth less than life and of dignity, which is not worth anything; and when life itself counts nothing, women's ones are less and less.

And so? So there are places in the world considered so dangerous that you must have a good deal of madness to want to go. Each year, a reasoned list is published on the most dangerous countries, where live is a bet every day.

In these countries I have known the second, third and fourth ranked. Could I lose the first one?

No, I could not.

Not after having met Kurdistan, not after having followed for years with anger the (few) news coming from those beautiful places, bruised by the worst human invention: the war. No, actually, religion. Neither, power and money. Because in the end it's all a game of power, power derived from money, arms, control of the lives of others, whose religions are a powerful medium.

Tomorrow I'm leaving for next assignment: 6 months in Kobane, Syria, Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan). A place where they are trying a social experiment that I want to see closely.

An experiment in which the female component is an integral part and fundamental.

I do not know how it will end, but grow, build, find new (old) methods of cooperation and coexistence is something that belongs to me deeply.

Most dangerous contry in the world
