Women’s protest organizers call for daily 25-minute strike until demands met
The organizers of the women’s protest against domestic violence say they intend to continue “daily steps that can’t be ignored” until their demands from the government are met, following the death of a woman in Acre today.
“The government stayed silent and this afternoon another woman was murdered,” the organizers say. “Starting tomorrow, every day at 10 a.m., we [women] all stop everything for 25 minutes! Every day, we stop on the roads, stop work, stop in the street. Until the government heeds our demands.”
Iman Ahmed Awad was found stabbed in her home, and police haven’t yet determined the circumstances.
