✊ The Impact of Conflicts on Women’s Rights in Syria

Nobahar Mustafa writes about the political and historical context of the struggle for women’s rights in her country, considering the specific experiences of Kurdish women amid recent conflicts and increasing repression. Nobahar argues that feminist organizations demand that “Syrians will determine their country’s future, they will adhere to peace agreements, there will be a stop to attacks on Syrian territories, occupying armies will be withdrawn, and a safe and dignified return of displaced persons and refugees will be ensured.” Her article is also available in Arabic.

💜 Nana Aïcha: Unabated Struggle for Peace and Women’s Rights

Nana Aïcha Cissé was an emblematic figure in the struggle for women’s rights in Mali, Africa, and internationally. She was a World March of Women (WMW) militant who fought relentlessly for women’s rights and for peace. In a tribute paid after her passing on August 9^th, 2024, her WMW sisters and other partners in the struggle came together to remember Nana Aïcha’s story, her fundamental contributions for the transition toward peace in Mali, and her firm commitment to human rights.

💜 Naama Nsiri: A Relentless Advocate for Women’s Rights and Freedom

We also paid tribute to the World March of Women militant from Tunisia Naama Nsiri, a feminist militant who had a remarkable career in politics and in trade union in a context of dictatorship and a patriarchal society, where activism was often considered a male-only field. Naama passed away on May 21^st, 2024. This tribute was co-written by her friends and sisters Amel Arbaoui, Habiba Trifi, and Souad Mahmoud, members of the World March of Women Tunisia.
