Iranian Nobel Peace Prize candidate launches 'No Hijab Day'.
In solidarity with women in Iran and Afghanistan who risk being whipped and imprisoned if they refuse to cover their heads, Masih Alinejad called for mobilisation. She is concerned that the new US law against "Islamophobic" acts will silence all criticism. And for that Western liberal feminism that speaks of the veil as freedom. This is why she is accused of "not loving Islam".
As part of the 'Let Us Talk' social media campaign, Iranian human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Masih Alinejad launched 'No Hijab Day' in order to raise awareness about Iranian and Afghan women being forced to wear the veil against their will. Alinejad judges very harshly the liberal and "intersectional" feminism that casually speaks of the hijab as a free choice. Iran requires women to wear the hijab from the age of seven. Women can [...]

Four femicides in 24 hours: Talibans are not only in Afghanistan. Everywhere in the world one sex is oppressing the other, and violence is a function of domination. We cannot consider our Afghan sisters as "us" and "them". The fight for women's freedom is one and the same.
Four femicides in 24 hours. Four women were killed by men related to them - husbands, fathers, boyfriends, former partners - simply because they were women. A mother and a daughter in Carpiano, near Milan. A wife in the province of Bologna. A girl, killed by her former boyfriend, in Aci Trezza, in the province of Catania. The details of such events are useless if not to confirm, once again, the inefficacy of the measures of protection: those who should [...]

We can't abandon them. We can't abandon ourselves
Women's freedom was writ large on the banner of the Western 'liberators' and is the very first target of the Taliban who took back Afghanistan. Let us unite to ask our governments for hospitality and humanitarian corridors for Afghan women and girls. There is no "us" and "them". We all pay the price for the deeds of foolish men.
Women's freedom was writ large on the banner of Western 'liberators' of Afghanistan. And women's freedom is now the very first target of the Taliban restoration there. No more school, girls- the poignant farewell of the teachers to their pupils. Leave your jobs, ladies - these places are now only for men. Once again females are inmates, obliged to have a male guardian always at their side. The young virgins without husbands and the interesting widows are sacrificed to the [...].

Let us not leave them alone
Women's freedom was the banner of the 'liberators' and is the very first target of the Taliban who have taken back Afghanistan. Let us unite to ask our governments for welcome and humanitarian corridors for women and girls. There is no "us" and "them". We all pay the price for the deeds of foolish men.
Women's freedom had been the banner of the Western 'liberators'. And women's freedom is the very first target of the Taliban restoration in Afghanistan. No more schooling, the heart-rending farewell of the teachers to their students, away from work -the jobs are only for men-, again imprisoned, the obligation to have a male guardian always at their side, the young women without husbands and the widows sacrificed to the needs of the warriors, the prison of the veils and burqas fished out of the trunks. Every sign of freedom [...]
