While the majority of people are hitting the Internet to reveal what we should be doing with ISIS, some people are actually going out there and doing it. One of those people is politics student Joanna Palani.
The 23-year-old student has fought on the front lines in Syria. At just 22 year old, Palani headed to Rojova in Syria and joined up with Kurdish forces in an attempt to “fight for human rights for all people.” Hell, she even learned how to shoot a gun at nine years old.
“ISIS fighters are very easy to kill,” Palani tells Vice. “ISIS fighters are very good at sacrificing their own lives, but Assad’s soldiers are very well-trained and they are specialist killing machines.”

Palani has become a role model of sorts for women, and after a year of fighting she is now not being allowed to return to the front line because her passport has been deemed invalid. But, Palani has continued to fight for human rights while studying politics and philosophy.
