A small convenience store owned and operated by a Kongra Star women’s co-operative in Girkê Legê, selling snacks and basic food and necessities.
Emre Şahin visited them in late June 2019 and said, “The three women I met and interviewed there carried themselves with self-confidence and determination, like most women living in Rojava.

The Water for Rojava Delegation also visited the shop in 2022.
