A group has issued a cyber-call demanding justice and equal rights for women in the Arab world.
In a Facebook page launched in October, "The uprising of women in the Arab world" denounces violence against women, demands an end to "treatment as second class citizens" and calls for a "solidarity network."
Their Facebook page includes statements and photos of women from around the Arab world and their supporters with words of self-determination, strength and solidarity.
Zeinab from Lebanon holds a sign reading: "I'm with the Uprising of Women in the Arab World because I am the MASTER and PROTAGONIST of MY life, not merely an extra."
Amira from Yemen says, "I am half the society, why can't you see that?"
The group's supporters also include men from the Arab world, as well as women from other parts of the world including Poland, Puerto Rico and China, who have expressed their solidarity.

Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
