About 200 women from 16 countries met in Bangalore, southern India, to discuss perspectives on women's liberation. The theoretical seminar, which was decided to be organized by the components of the World Conference on Women From Grassroots at the 2nd World Women's Conference in Nepal in 2016 to find answers to the urgent theoretical questions of the women's freedom struggle, lasted for 3 days with a main presentation and subsequent collective discussions. The seminar was devoted to Sakine Cansız, a vanguard martyr of the Kurdish Freedom Movement and Gauri Lankesh, who was murdered by fascists in India last year.

On the first day of the seminar, Sharmistha Choudhury, General Secretary of the Revolutionary Women's Organization of India (AIRWO), made the main presentation. Choudhury emphasized that the attacks on women in our age have reached the level of epidemic, but that more women are fighting than ever before. Choudhury stressed that violence against women should not be dealt with in general terms, and emphasized that masculine violence has reached terrible dimensions and forms in India in recent years. The Secretary General of AIRWO said, "What is the root of violence? We should actually concentrate on that. As Indian women, we are carrying out the biggest protests against violence, but we cannot create change with these protests. So we need a different struggle", noting the urgency of meeting the struggle for women's freedom with new means of struggle. Stating that women's freedom depends on the place of women in social production, Sharmistha Choudhury said "the women's movement must be connected with the whole left, democratic, revolutionary movement. Women should carry feminism into all leftist organizations. Women and class emancipation are dialectical processes, and independent-autonomous women's organizations are very important."

On the second day of the seminar, the experiences and the ideological concepts of the Kurdistan Women's Freedom Movement were discussed. This was done by Dilek Dirik and Meral Çiçek the representatives of International Kurdish Women's Movement. In the presentations of Çiçek and Dirik, they first talked about Sakine Cansız's place in the Kurdish women's liberation struggle. Especially in the left-socialist revolution movements of the 20th century, women played an important role, but emphasized that the positions of women did not change much, and the Kurdish Freedom Movement considered the problem of gender as not a secondary but a fundamental problem. In addition, they emphasized that the architect of women's liberation work in Kurdistan was the Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan. Representatives of the Kurdistan Women's Freedom Movement gave examples of radical gender and class struggle in revolutionary movements. They emphasized that masculinity should be dissolved as a system with the liberation struggle of women, that overcoming of masculinity as a system should be one of the basic principles of socialism. Underlining that Kurdish women have achieved gains by developing original and autonomous organizations, the theory of rupture and the theory of infinite divorces and the ideology of women's liberation were summarized. In the presentation, it is emphasized that salvation cannot be postponed to after the revolution and every freedom quest has to center on women's freedom. Because the female problem is neither a secondary problem nor a side contradiction. It is the mother of all problems, they emphasized.

On the last day of the seminar, the presentation by Monika Gärtner-Engels, General Coordinator of ICOR from Germany, and Halinka Augustin, European Coordinator of the World Women's Conference was presented. It was held by Halinka Augustin because of the inability of Monika Gärtner-Engels to attend the seminar due to the trial carried out against her due to carrying a YPG flag in a demonstration. In the presentation, it was stated that women achieved the greatest achievements in revolutionary unity. Stated in the presentation that the conditions for the salvation of women and men are only possible in the socialist society, which discusses the double production concept developed by Marx and Engels for women. In the presentation, which is said to be the petty-bourgeois mode of thought of the main obstacle, it is stated that bourgeois feminism has its share. The Kurdish Freedom Movement centered on the women's issue and Augustin objected to the approach of women as the first class in history. In the presentation, it was stated that exploitation developed with the emergence of private property.

REPAK Representative Meral Çiçek, who summarized the discussions, expressed the need for a more in-depth discussion on the concepts and theories by multiplying the theoretical-ideological discussion grounds as components of the World Women's Conference. Çiçek stateded that gender problem, class struggle, revolution and revolutionary concepts are understood differently and added "As women, we need to question the impact of organized dogmatism on us. However, we should be able to discuss very clear, a discussion language and culture free of masculinity we need to improve".

The three-day seminar ended with revolutionary women songs and pieces of resistance from Rojava accompanied by halay and dances. The final declaration of the seminar is expected to be announced in the coming days.
