Asia Ramazan Antar (Kurdish: Asya Ramazan Antar, 1 January 1997 – 30 August 2016), also known as Viyan Antar, was a Kurdish YPJ fighter who rose to prominence during the Syrian Civil War, as she was symbolized as a symbol of the feminist struggle (Jineology) against ISIS by the international media. In 2014, Antar joined the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) with the aim of fighting against ISIS. After photos of her spread across the internet, she was dubbed "the Kurdish Angelina Jolie" by international media for her physical resemblance to the actress. Other Kurdish fighters and activists of the Kurdish cause described these comparisons as sexist and objectifying. Antar was killed in action on 30 August 2016, during the Manbij offensive against the Islamic State, at the age of 18. Read more on Wikipedia
