Rojava ("the West"), also known as Western Kurdistan (Kurdish: Rojavayê
Kurdistanê) or Syrian Kurdistan, is a de facto autonomous region originating in
and consisting of three self-governing cantons in northern Syria: Afrin Canton,
Jazira Canton and Kobanî Canton, and the unofficial Shahba region. In terms of
governates of Syria, Rojava is formed of most of al-Hasakah Governorate,
northern parts of Al-Raqqah Governorate and northern parts of Aleppo
Governorate.
The region gained its autonomy in November 2013, as part of
the ongoing Rojava conflict, establishing a society based on principles of
direct democracy, gender equality, and sustainability. Rojava is unrecognized as
autonomous by the government of Syria and is a participant in the Syrian Civil
War. On 16 March 2016, the de facto administration of Rojava declared the
establishment of a federal system of government as the Federation of Northern
Syria – Rojava (Kurdish: Federasyona Bakurê Sûriyê – Rojava, Arabic: منطقة
الإدارة الكردية في شمال سوريا)
