• USA: Woman Breaks Through Chains of Forced Marriage, and Helps Others Do the Same
  25 March 2015, by siawi3

  In the US context, a divorcee from Jewish orthodox background set up a support group to help women obtain divorce and deal with child custody.
  Many who have been “pressured into marriage by their religious community: Orthodox Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Mormon, Unification Church” find support in one another. The last sentence is particularly meaningful in terms of the links of solidarity they’re keeping alive against the pressure from their diverse communities.

  This is a case of child marriage, forced marriage, gang rape, and killing in self-defense. Sudanese law as well as international law both criminalize forced marriage of underage girls. Rights defenders are calling for an annulment of the judgment and a due process, taking into account all the mitigating circumstances that surround the husband death, including human rights abuse, rape, forced marriage, child marriage. They also ask that the state of terror and mental instability in which she must have fallen after the gang rape be considered.

• Sudan: How to help Noura in Sudan and similar cases?
  17 May 2018, by siawi3

  Progressive forces exist everywhere in Muslim contexts, just as they do elsewhere. But they are little considered outside their countries – especially in the West which globally tends to ignore them. Noura’s case is a good opportunity to reach out in solidarity to progressive, feminist, humanist, secular forces in our parts of the world. It is an opportunity to create working links that would last even after we save Noura’s life - as I am now convinced we will, collectively.
