We send our strongest support and solidarity to the thousands of women in Tahrir Square and across Egypt protesting the unacceptable violent assault of women protesters by the military. We are troubled, shocked, and outraged at images of a woman protester being beaten and stripped in the streets.
Systematic targeting, marginalization, silencing, and violence against women by anyone, especially the military authorities entrusted to protect us, are unacceptable.These tactics are brutal, criminal and dishonorable. We share your anger.
We recognize the brave women of Egypt and women around the world who risk their lives to protest unjust systems. Women are powerful and essential forces in revolutions. Your power and courage are incredibly inspiring to all women.
We send solidarity and encouragement to you in this honorable fight to protect women’s rights. We join you in outrage and support your fight for peace and justice. We stand united with all women of Egypt.
United, we will never be defeated.
All I can say is thank you. We stand by you just as strongly as you stand by us. Be brave sisters!
Thank you so much occupy NYC I had the best time in my life in the U.S with you guys from oct until dec. solidarity from the bay area now.
Power to the Peaceful!
We, the women of Occupy Nova Scotia, wish to join the Women Occupying Wall Street in sending our strongest support and solidarity to the women revolutionaries of Egypt. Every word of this statement rings true. We stand united in our support of your cause and honor your role in the important events in your nation. We have nothing but contempt and condemnation for the mob-like brutality we witnessed this past week and far too often since the peaceful uprising began in Tahrir Square last February – which, as we recall, was begun by a woman who sent out the call on Facebook and took to the streets.
Let us always stand together and never cease to find ways to make revolutions effective and lasting.
