We are a transnational feminist solidarity network committed to supporting women and their aspirations for gender equality and human rights. Since 1984, we have been addressing women’s rights in the Muslim contexts and globally through advocacy, campaigns, research, and publications. As women of Muslim heritage and those living in Muslim communities directly impacted by repression by Islamists, we noted early on, with great alarm, the devastating impact of religious fundamentalism and militarism on women’s rights which were already limited.  We have been at the forefront of alerting the world to the danger of unleashing global terrorism through the unholy alliance of fundamentalism with powerful states that have provided weapons, training, and platforms for them for their own political goals, without any concern for human rights. We joined the transnational women’s movement to establish women’s rights as human rights, to eliminate violence against women as an international objective, and to push for the recognition and classification of rape as a weapon of war and a war crime. Together with others, we have successfully challenged human rights organizations to consider battles for gender equality as political actions and to defend its advocates.  In 2021, we continue to remain committed to our struggle against injustices and the many forms of violence against women. The violence that might manifest in the forms of re-Talibanization of  Afghanistan would mean legitimization of violence and terrorism as a  pathway to power, with regional and global implications. Through our other programs and initiatives,  we continue to resist the normalization of the many everyday forms of violence that deny women their right to participate in public spaces and to engage in public life free from harassment.
