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.

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
