Roj is a female fighting group based in Kurdistan Region. They’re professionally trained by foreign advisers and Peshmerga. The force was initially meant to fight Jihadist groups in Syrian Kurdistan, Rojava, but political tensions in Rojava deprived them of this chance.
They number around 4,000 and they’re fighting ISIS on the Mosul fronts now. Over the last three years 43 of them have been killed, 11 killed and 220 wounded in 2016.
