A Trinity of Power ‘Patriarchy/Capital/State’ in Gender Inequalities
Intersectionality, Decoloniality, Kurdish Women and Jineolojî
Abstract
Capitalism, state and patriarchy play an important role in gender inequalities; here we focus on the ways in which this ‘trinity of powers’ has been acting as an integrated system from its early stage, according to Abdullah Öcalan, Sociology of Freedom (2020) where he criticizes dominant masculinities, and calls for women’s leadership in building direct eco-democracies. The paper tries to connect path-breaking political proposals of the Kurdish Women’s Movement about Democratic Confederalism and Jineolojî (Women’s Science) with intersectional/decolonial feminisms emerged in last decades; and some Indigenous theoretical/practical perspectives.
