Press Release
On December 22, a report published by the Human Rights Watch (HRW) claimed that there were child soldiers in the ranks of the Peoples' Defense Forces, HPG.

We have been following very closely the policies of the enemy on the Village-Guard system, which has a long history and activities increased again in the last two years. The Kurdish people mostly excepts to become a village-guard as a result of insistence of the enemy based on oppression, intimidation and threats. And, also some wrong approaches from us as well.
