Joanna Palani made headlines across the world in 2016 when her role
fighting on the front line of the Syrian conflict was revealed. She
is one of a handful of western women who have joined the
international recruits to the Kurdish forces in Syria and is the
first woman fighter to tell her story. Joanna was born
toIranian-Kurdish parents in a refugee camp in Iraq, before her
family were accepted in to Denmark. During the Arab Spring, Joanna
realized she needed to do something to protect the values she
believes in, and the culture she loves. Leaving behind her life as
a student, Joanna underwent considerable military training and
travelled to the Middle East, where she spent time over several
years fighting on the front line, including at the devastating
battle for Kobani. Despite her heroism, Joanna was taken in to
custody on her return to Denmark for breaking laws designed to stop
its citizens from joining ISIS, making her the first person to be
jailed for joining the international coalition. Joanna now lives in
Copenhagen under daily threat from ISIS supporters, as she
continues her fight for women's rights off the front line.
