Image description: There are two photos. In one, about thirty people, mostly women, sit at desks, their focus on the front of the room. We see water bottles, cell phones, and papers on the desks. In the other photo, four women are on a stage. The woman on the far right, wearing hijab, speaks into the microphone. In front of the women, on the floor, is a large bouquet of flowers; behind the women is a large banner in black and red Kurdish. We see a Kurdish flag between the woman on the far left and the second woman in.
