(CNN) — It would be dishonest to say that 2014 has been a good year for women. We looked in disbelief as a terrorist group in Syria and Iraq turned women into slaves, and another radical group in Nigeria captured hundreds of female students and disappeared with them.
But 2014 was also a year in which many women fought back and inspired the world with their bravery and savvy. They taught us that the stakes are high and the road to a better future is fraught with difficulties, but with strength and dignity, we can get there.
Here are some of the women who in 2014 stared down the odds, helped change history, or changed our perceptions.
1. Vian Dakhil and the Kobani women who fought ISIS
The most enduring and inspiring images of 2014 come from the besieged city of Kobani, the Kurdish town on Syria’s border with Turkey where ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, met unexpectedly fierce resistance. ISIS militants, who have brutalized girls and women, knew they would face opposition but did not expect Kobani’s defending army to include large numbers of women. Women make up about one-third of Kobani’s defenders and are part of a dramatic effort by female residents in Iraq and Syria to turn the tide against ISIS’s misogynistic extremists.
It was Vian Dakhil who captured the world’s attention by telling her fellow members of the Iraqi parliament about the impending genocide of the Yazidis. There were also women in Mosul, Iraq, who gave their lives fighting against ISIS in other ways. Their collective message? They would do everything possible to stop ISIS from reviving the practice of selling women into slavery.
