NADA: We are in solidarity with Yazidi, Afghan, Sudanese and Palestinian women

“We are in solidarity with Yazidi, Afghan, Sudanese and Palestinian women,” said the statement released by the NADA, calling on international organizations to put pressure on Iran to revoke the death sentences against activists.

News Center- The Democratic Women's Alliance in the Middle East and North Africa (NADA) has released a written statement on the genocidal attacks targeting Yazidi, Afghan, Sudanese and Palestinian women, stressing that they are in solidarity with them.

The statement said that sexual violence, assault, rape and slavery “have become an integral part of the policy of abuse and revenge against Sudanese women, who led the Kandake of the Sudanese Revolution.” Condemning the genocidal attacks on the Palestinian women and the death sentences against labor activist Sharifeh Mohammadi and journalist Pakhshan Azizi in Iran, the NADA said in the statement:

“The relevant countries, institutions and international organizations claiming that they defend human rights and women’s rights never lift a finger. We call on relevant international institutions and organizations to break their silence and take immediate action to stop violations against women and hold those who commit genocidal attacks and war crimes against women and recognize the crimes committed against women in Afghanistan, Sudan, Gaza, particularly against Yazidi women as a genocide. They must put pressure on Iran to revoke the death sentences against women activists.”
