About Jin News

With a team of women editors and reporters, JinNews ("woman news" in Kurdish) exclusively focuses on women's issues.

It is published in five languages: Turkish, Kurdish, Zaza language, English and Arabic. It was founded on September 25, 2017, with the slogan, "On the path to truth, with a women's pen." Safiye Alağaş, the news director of the website, was awarded the International Prize for Journalism by the Italy-based Maria Grazia Cutuli Onlus Foundation.

JinNews succeeds outlets that were shut down upon statutory decrees (KHK). The JİNHA, which had defined itself as the "first women's news agency in Turkey," was shut down on October 29, 2016, upon Statutory Decree no. 675. The "Gazete Şûjin," founded in December 2016, was shut down on August 25, 2017, upon Statutory Decree no. 693. (RT/SD)
