This petition was already posted on November 23. It has reached people all over the world. Signatories are now close to 8000 and still UK universities do not back on their decision to endorse sex segregation in classes upon request from Muslim fundamentalist groups. Today December 10, there is a demonstration in London. Will that be enough?
Don’t let it happen ! Neither in England nor elsewhere. We need more signatures. Get your friends and colleagues to join the protest and sign this petition. We cannot let go of hard won laws for equality between women and men. We need to win this battle for secularism and for women’s’ rights.

9 December, by siawi3It’s shameful that our universities have accepted gender segregation
under pressure from the most oppressive religious fanatics. This capitulation is a disaster for feminism, progressive ideals and above all Muslims. What will they do if a Muslim female Mandela sits with the men? Will they carry her out and throw her down the steps? -

9 December, by Marieme Helie LucasThe authorities of universities in the UK made public their policy of bending to religious fundamentalists by condoning sex segregation on university premises. The battle that is being waged now in the UK concerns us all: attempts by fundamentalist forces to undermine secularism and to destroy hard won gender equality laws have been going on steadily in most European countries, in the name of rights. The education system is especially targeted, as controlling the minds of the youth is critical.

Veit Bader: Post-secularism or Liberal - democratic constitutionalism?
9 December, by siawiThe increasing religious diversity or pluralisation of the religious landscape, both globally and within Western states, seems to be accompanied by an ever-increasing fragmentation of organised high religions, putting pressure on existing forms of institutionalisation of religions and their management by the state.
