Jinamedia is a web-based platform to promote the Kurdish issue and Kurdistan. The Kurds in the Middle East have been marginalized by the ruling states and totalitarian regimes and are treated as a colony with the Kurdish homeland. Kurdistan has been a victim of the international interests of powerful states and regional states for more than a hundred years, and none of the international treaties have been implemented concerning the Kurdish nation. The policy of systematic apartheid is being implemented by the Iranian regime against the Kurdish people in East Kurdistan.

The name Jinamedia was chosen to honor the memory of Jina (Mahsa) Amini, who became a symbol of the systematic repression of the Kurdish people and women by Iran. On September 16, 2022, a 22-year-old Kurdish girl named Jina Amini was killed by the Iranian moral police in Tehran on the pretext of wearing a “bad hijab.” The incident was followed by an uprising in Kurdistan and Iran that the Kurdish people called the Revolution of Life, which has been called the Revolution of Jina by the Kurdish people. The Iranian regime brutally cracked down on the uprising, killing more than 500 demonstrators and arresting nearly 18,000 others.

During the Jina Revolution, the Kurdish people and their revolution were systematically marginalized by the Persian-language Iranian media abroad. It turned out that systematic apartheid is not only the product of the Islamic Republic of Iran but also the product of the Iranian way of thinking about the Kurds.

Jina's murder sparked a new revolution, a revolution against backward traditions, slavery, and denial of women's human identity at the societal and family level, against patriarchy-dominant nationalism, and a revolution for the human and national identity of the people of East Kurdistan. The slogan of “JIN JIYAN AZADI” (Women, Life and Freedom”), which started in Kurdistan many years became a global slogan, and human values became the center of the Kurdish people's liberation movement.

Jinamedia is a continuation of the process of changes and conveying the people's voice of East Kurdistan to the world public opinion, a link of social, social, and political understanding of Kurdish society and national dialogue. Jinamedia aims to promote democratic understanding and respect for human dignity.

Jinamedia is run by Jina Institute, one of the institutions of the National Centre of East Kurdistan; it follows the principles of Swedish media law and professional media norms in its publishing policy.
