 NCRI - An international conference entitled "Violence Against Women,
Crime Against Humanity" was held in north of Paris on November 26, to
deal with growing threat by fundamentalism against women’s rights in
various countries in particular Iran, the heart of Islamic
fundamentalism.
The International Federation of Women against Fundamentalism and for
Equality and the Women's Committee of the National Council of
Resistance of Iran initiated the event to mark the International Day
for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
Distinguished women's rights activists from across the world including
the United States, France, Britain, Sweden, Spain and Italy addressed
the conference. Representatives of the Iranian Resistance also spoke of
their experience with the fundamentalist rule in their homeland.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the NCRI greeted the event
in her message and said: “On the day when the world expresses
solidarity with the victims of violence, I ask for your support and
that of all gender equality activists for Iran's oppressed women. These
women are being humiliated under the clerical regime's pressures,
imprisoned, flogged, hanged, stoned to death and have no refuge.
“I stretch my hand to you for helping us defend them and support the
Iranian Resistance movement that is striving to liberate them. The
liberation of women and humanity is not just a dream. Women's struggle
and solidarity can and will defeat the tragedy of violence.” |
