Sep 23, 2022
Lucknow: A man in the Shahnawazpur area of Ayodhya has
filed a police complaint after his wife of 12 years whom he thought was ‘Pooja’
turned out to be a Muslim woman named Hasina Bano. Hasina and her family forced
the victim identified as Jagbir Kori to convert to Islam and also made
beheading threats, as reported by India Today.
According to the report when Jagbir had met Pooja aka
Hasina who claimed to be helpless at a railway station 12 years ago. Jagbir and
his family took her home, and a while later he married Pooja (aka Hasina) in
court. They have a son and a daughter He then came to know about his wife's
religious affiliation as he discovered that she was teaching Islamic Studies to
children a few years ago. Upon being confronted Hasina left for her maternal
home. Upon her return, Jagbir found that his son had been circumcised.
Jagbir has also mentioned in his complaint that upon
resisting the alleged conversation attempts by Hasina and her family, they
contacted a local goon identified as Naseer to force him to convert to Islam.
On September 18, the UP Police arrested Naseer who allegedly made the 'Sar Tan
Se Juda' threats, reported India Today.
In a similar incident earlier this month, a Muslim boy
from Loni, Ghaziabad has been arrested for threatening to behead a Hindu family
if they do not hand over their daughter to him. In a complaint registered by
the girl’s father Rajesh Sharma, he mentions that the accused also threatened
to make public some objectionable photographs of the girl.
NK Jadaun, SP rural, Baghpat says the girl had eloped
with the Muslim boy this year in June on her own accord. In her statement
before the police, she had accepted that she was in a relationship with the
accused. After the latest complaint from the family, police are investigating
the matter further.
The police had earlier lodged a case under sections
506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of the IPC & 67A of the IT act
(Punishment for publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually
explicit act) at the Khekda police station of Baghpat.

Mahsa Amini’s Death Could Be The Spark That Ignites Iran
Around Women’s Rights

23 Sep 2022
On the day that news of Mahsa Amini’s death spread
throughout Iran, a young woman with a shaved head joined protesters who had
gathered outside Kasra hospital, where Amini had lain in a coma since her
violent arrest by Iran’s morality police days earlier.
In her hand she carried a plastic bag full of her long
hair, shorn off in a gesture of solidarity with Amini and in defiance of the
increasing crackdown on women by the regime.
A week later, and protests sparked by Amini’s death
are raging in the province of Kurdistan and Tehran as well as cities such as
Rasht, Isfahan and Qom, one of Iran’s most religiously conservative cities.
The rage across Iran at the brutal pointlessness of
Amini’s death has lit the fires of protest and the increasing desperation of
the authorities to extinguish it are, some believe, a sign of the growing
strength and momentum of Iran’s women’s rights movement.
“Women’s issues have long been a catalyst for broader
political action in Iran,” said Annabelle Sreberny, professor emeritus at the
Iranian Studies Centre at Soas University of London. “This could be it. It
could be the moment when people motivated by all the problems facing Iran
today, like rising inflation, ecological crisis and lack of democratic
participation, coalesce around these women’s issues to challenge the regime.”
During the past week women have been at the forefront
of many of the demonstrations, shaving their heads and burning their
headscarves in defiance of the strict hijab law and its brutal enforcement that
led to 22-year-old Amini’s arrest and allegedly her death.
“The women’s movement in Iran started in the first
month of the Islamic Republic and has been simmering for at least the last 20
years,” said Sreberny. “It is seen as a carrier of socially progressive values
… many Iranians see the women’s movement as having the potential to be the next
social force to make waves.”
Women have always been key to challenging the regime.
Since online blogging became a popular form of everyday dissent a decade ago,
women and LGBTQ+ people have dominated the sphere. Today, some of the most
significant anti-regime movements were created by women in cyberspace,
including My Stealthy Freedom, a Facebook page launched in 2014 by an Iranian
feminist journalist living in exile, Masih Alinejad, which encouraged women to
post hijab-less selfies.
The public removal of the state-mandated hijab has
since become a universal sign of rejection of the regime, unifying Iranians
from across the religious spectrum. For months before Amini’s arrest and death,
women had been converging under anti-hijab protest hashtags on social media,
posting videos of themselves walking with their heads uncovered or being
harassed on the streets. In the weeks before Amini’s arrest for failing to
correctly wear the hijab, the authorities had carried out a spate of arrests,
beatings and forced public confessions of women.
Among them was Sepideh Rashno, a 28-year-old woman who
was detained after a video showing her on a bus with her hair uncovered went
viral. Rashno was reportedly beaten during her detention and forced to
apologise on national television.
“Control of the female body and oppression of women is
not just a matter of policy of the current government,” said Azadeh Akbari, a
researcher at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, “It is existential
to the Islamic Republic and fundamental to its founding ideology.
“These are protests against the compulsory hijab and
controlling women. They have support even among women who believe in Islam and
who choose to wear it, but they don’t agree with the compulsory hijab and they
definitely don’t agree with the violence which is used to enforce it,” said
Akbari.
The hijab, a headscarf worn by Muslim women, became
mandatory in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which led to the overthrow
of the shah and the instalment of Ayatollah Khomeini as the country’s supreme
leader. Laws regulating women’s behaviour and restricting their participation
in public life became a hallmark of the regime, as female liberation was
presented as a force of western cultural imperialism.

Over 100 Female Police Officers Return to Work in
Badakhshan
September 24, 2022
The officials of the Badakhshan Police Command said
that more than one hundred female police officers have been rehired.
They said that the majority of these female police
officers had previously served in the previous administration.
"We have about 20 to 25 officers and lieutenants
and 70 to 80 female soldiers,” said Badakhshan Police Commander Abdulhaq Abu
Omer.
In this province, female police officers are in charge
of conducting house-to-house inspections and searching women.
"As criminal department officers, we go when
there is a criminal act and enter the house,” Khaleda, a police officer, said.
"We search the house and we arrest the women and
hand them over to the criminal department,” said Gol Jan, a policewoman.
Some female police forces urged the Islamic Emirate to
allow more women to work in government institutions.
"We ask the Islamic Emirate to let all the women
go back to their jobs,” said Mashoqa, a police officer.
Many women, particularly those who worked in security
agencies, lost their jobs after the Islamic Emirate was re-established.

Iran protest at enforced hijab sparks online debate
and feminist calls for action across Arab world
September 22, 2022
Balsam Mustafa
Iranian authorities have cracked down on protests
which erupted after the death in custody of a 22-year-old woman who was
arrested by the morality police for not wearing the hijab appropriately. The
death of Mahsa Amini who was reportedly beaten after being arrested for wearing
her hijab “improperly” sparked street protests.
Unrest has spread across the country as women burned
their headscarves to protest laws that force women to wear the hijab. Seven
people are reported to have been killed, and the government has almost
completely shut down the internet.
But in the Arab world – including in Iraq, where I was
brought up – the protests have attracted attention and women are gathering
online to offer solidarity to Iranian women struggling under the country’s
harsh theocratic regime.
The enforcement of the hijab and, by extension,
guardianship over women’s bodies and minds, are not exclusive to Iran. They
manifest in different forms and degrees in many countries.
In Iraq, and unlike the case of Iran, forced wearing
of the hijab is unconstitutional. However, the ambiguity and contradictions of
much of the constitution, particularly Article 2 about Islam being the primary
source of legislation, has enabled the condition of forced hijab.
Since the 1990s, when Saddam Hussein launched his
Faith Campaign in response to economic sanctions imposed by the UN security
council, pressure on women to wear the hijab has become widespread. Following
the US-led invasion of the country, the situation worsened under the rule of
Islamist parties, many of whom have close ties to Iran.
Contrary to the claim in 2004 by US president George
W. Bush that Iraqi people were “now learning the blessings of freedom”, women
have been enduring the heavy hand of patriarchy perpetuated by Islamism,
militarisation and tribalism, and exacerbated by the influence of Iran.
Going out without a hijab in Baghdad became a daily
struggle for me after 2003. I had to put on a headscarf to protect myself
wherever I entered a conservative neighbourhood, especially during the years of
sectarian violence.
Flashbacks of pro-hijab posters and banners hanging
around my university in central Baghdad have always haunted me. The situation
has remained unchanged over two decades, with the hijab reportedly imposed on
children and little girls in primary and secondary schools.
A new campaign against the enforced wearing of the
hijab in Iraqi public schools has surfaced on social media. Natheer Isaa, a
leading activist in the Women for Women group, which is leading the campaign,
told me that hijab is cherished by many conservative or tribal members of
society and that backlashes are predictable.
Similar campaigns were suspended due to threats and
online attacks. Women posting on social media with the campaign hashtag
#notocompulsoryhijab, have attracted reactionary tweets accusing them of being
anti-Islam and anti-society.
Similar accusations are levelled at Iranian women who
defy the regime by taking off or burning their headscarves. Iraqi Shia cleric,
Ayad Jamal al-Dinn lashed out against the protests on his Twitter account,
labelling the protesting Iranian women “anti-hijab whores” who are seeking to
destroy Islam and culture.
Cyberfeminists and reactionary men
In my digital ethnographic work on cyberfeminism in
Iraq and other countries, I have encountered numerous similar reactions to
women who question the hijab or decide to remove it. Women who use their social
media accounts to reject the hijab are often met with sexist attacks and
threats that attempt to shame and silence them.
Those who openly speak about their decision to take
off the hijab receive the harshest reaction. The hijab is linked to women’s
honour and chastity, so removing it is seen as defiance.
Women’s struggle with the forced hijab and the
backlash against them challenges the prevailing cultural narrative that says
wearing the hijab is a free choice. While many women freely decide whether to
wear it or not, others are obliged to wear it.
So academics need to revisit the discourse around the
hijab and the conditions perpetuating the mandatory wearing of it. In doing so
it is important to move away from the false dichotomies of culture versus
religion, or the local versus the western, which obscure rather than illuminate
the root causes of forced hijab.
In her academic research on gender-based violence in
the context of the Middle East, feminist academic Nadje al-Ali emphasises the
need to break away from these binaries and recognise the various complex power
dynamics involved – both locally and internationally.
The issue of forcing women to wear the hijab in
conservative societies should be at the heart of any discussion about women’s
broader fight for freedom and social justice.
Iranian women’s rage against compulsory hijab wearing,
despite the security crackdown, is part of a wider women’s struggle against
autocratic conservative regimes and societies that deny them agency. The
collective outrage in Iran and Iraq invites us to challenge the compulsory
hijab and those imposing it on women or perpetuating the conditions enabling
it.
As one Iraqi female activist told me: “For many of us,
hijab is like the gates of a jail, and we are the invisible prisoners.” It is
important for the international media and activists to bring their struggle to
light, without subscribing to the narrative that Muslim women need saving by
the international community.

Yemeni women turn traditional home-made cooking into
successful businesses
18 September 2022
It is seldom easy to start a business anywhere, let
alone in a war-torn country like Yemen. The almost eight-year conflict there
has left the country an economic wreck, while increasing inflation is further
squeezing the pockets of an already desperately impoverished and insecure
people.
Now, undeterred by social and financial obstacles,
some Yemeni women are attempting to do what they can to overcome the pressures
on them and their families by cooking their way to a better life.
Fatima Ismail, a divorced mother of four in Taiz
province, was struggling to provide for her family but was reluctant to rely on
charity or handouts, preferring to maintain her independence.
"I'm a housewife who doesn't have any experience
in any job, and I don't have money, so it was difficult for me to find work or
to establish my own business," Ismail told Middle East Eye.
Last year, she was discussing her situation with her
neighbours and relatives, and they hit upon the idea of going into business.
They all agreed that Ismail was a good cook, so she
and two others decided to start cooking at her home and selling to customers.
"We started last year, and there were difficult
moments. We used to cook but couldn't sell, as we didn't have customers [at
that time]," she said. "We used to cook for 10 people only, but
marketing was a challenge."
Even so, Ismail, with a range of traditional foods and
sweets, step-by-step attracted more customers as her food's reputation began to
spread.
Now she can get around 30,000 Yemeni riyal ($30) a
day, divided among the three women, a substantial amount in a country where the
average income is $2,213 a year.
"We coordinated with a delivery company, and that
helped us to get more customers, so now we sell most of our food through the
delivery companies," she said.
Ismail and her friends sell only take-away food, and
they don't meet the buyers or the delivery people, as some Yemenis consider it
shameful for women to open a restaurant and meet customers. Ismail and her
colleagues identify as conservatives.
"We choose this business because it keeps our
dignity, and it isn't against the traditions. Our mothers used to make bread and
send it to market, and this is still there, and what we do is cook different
kinds of food and send to customers," she said.
Ismail and her friends sell only food for lunch and
sweets, but they plan to develop their business and cook more kinds of food and
attract more business.
Close to bankruptcy
Samira Bakil, a Yemeni woman who started selling
Yemeni sweets two years ago, said that in the beginning all her customers were
only relatives and friends.
"I have a bachelor's degree in accountancy but no
way to find a job nowadays, so I had to think about my own business," she
told MEE. "Making bint al-sahn [a traditional cake covered with honey] was
my first step."
Her first buyers were neighbours, relatives and
friends, but she could attract no other customers even when she expanded her
range of sweets.
"I was about to close my business, as it was
difficult to market my sweets while I'm only at home," she said.
Then some friends advised her to start marketing her
products through social media, especially WhatsApp, and this way Bakil started
to get more customers.
"Nowadays the customers come through the delivery
companies, and I work well. I know some friends who closed their projects, and
they regret it today," she said. "Any business needs patience."
One woman who has discovered the truth of this is
Elham, who sells home-made food but is still struggling to find buyers and only
works now and again upon getting an order.
"I failed to find customers, and my relatives and
friends were the only ones, so now I only work occasionally, usually during
Eid."
The need to find some sort of income using even just
traditional domestic skills is widespread. Out of 30.5 million Yemenis, 20.7
million need humanitarian assistance and up to 19 million are food insecure,
according to the World Food Programme.
Yemenis have resorted to starting their own businesses
in recent years for different reasons. Some homes have lost their breadwinners
amid the violence of war, while in others a surviving money-earner cannot
provide for their family on their own.
At the same time, the new home-cooking enterprises
have met demand from other Yemenis, often uprooted by the chaos of conflict and
hungry for some of the things in life that a home can best provide, not least
nourishing home cooking.
Cleaner and healthier
Ala'a Abubaker is a single man who had been getting
his food from restaurants and had home-made food only when he visited his
family in his village, but recently he started to have home-made food in the
city.
"I prefer home-made food because it is cleaner
than the food of restaurants, and it is healthy and delicious. It also reminds
me of my mother's food," Abubaker told MEE. "Recently, I have been
ordering home-made food from the new businesses of women who sell it through
delivery companies."
Abubaker said the prices were acceptable, similar to
those of restaurants. The only issue was that sometimes he might have to wait
for half-an-hour or more until a delivery arrived.
"In general, such food is amazing, and I advise
people to try it, and I hope there will be restaurants where customers can sit
and have such home-made food," he said.
Abdulillah Saeed also prefers home-made food and
usually orders it from women, but he said his main aim was to encourage projects
by women who were the family breadwinners.
"It is a big challenge for women to provide for
families in the current situation, so we should support them to start their
businesses," he told MEE.
"The food is good. Sometimes the delivery arrives
late, and sometimes we receive food different from what we ordered, but I think
that if the women continue they will overcome all challenges."
He believes that any business faces difficulties, and
this is particularly the case for the women starting up home-cooking enterprises
as they are new to business. But perseverance is a key ingredient in the recipe
for success.
"I know many women who have succeeded in their
businesses, and now they hire workers, so some training on management and maybe
financial support to the current small businesses will make them better."
Ismail agreed, saying they all had to do their best to
overcome such challenges.
"I heard some comments about the time of
delivery, as that affects the quality of the food, and sometimes it doesn't
arrive warm enough, but we are trying to solve such problems."

progressive trailblazer — on and off screen — in promoting gender equality.
Throughout our organization and across most departments we have women in top
leadership positions, as well as women that are identified and set on
leadership tracks.”
“However, we are progressive enough to look at
ourselves and say we can do more — and we will do more,” she said.
Akrouk highlighted self-limiting beliefs and how they
can affect women in the workplace. She also offered advice on how to overcome
these beliefs and offered guidance to those seeking a career in media.
The forum also featured three panel discussions.
The first panel brought together Rana Alamuddin,

Houthi militia kidnapped 1,700 Yemeni women in last 7
years
Sakina Fatima
22nd September 2022
The Iranian-backed Houthi militia kidnapped 1,700
Yemeni women, most of them in the capital, Sanaa, during the period from August
2015 to August 2022.
This come during a speech before the Human Rights
Council on the sidelines of the 51st session in Geneva, Switzerland. The Yemen

Minor Hindu Girl Abducted In Pakistan’s Sindh: Report
24 September, 2022
Islamabad [Pakistan], September 24 (ANI): A
13-year-old girl belonging to the Hindu community in Pakistan’s Sindh province
has reportedly been abducted last week while she was returning from the market.
According to reports, the victim’s family alleges that
the police have refused to file an FIR in the case.
Earlier, another Hindu married woman was also abducted
and forcibly converted to Islam and is being allegedly held captive by one
Muslim family in the province.
Pakistan’s dilemma of forced conversions and marriages
put minority women at risk and the issue of securing rights for minority women
has become particularly complex in the country.
As Pakistan moves in an increasingly conservative
Islamist direction, the situation for Hindus, Christians and other religious
minorities, especially that of women, is worsening, reported International
Forum for Right and Security (IFFRAS).
The situation faced by the Hindu and Christian groups
in Pakistan is bad in general, but women from these communities are the worst
victims of discriminatory attitudes of the authorities, political groups,
religious parties, the feudal structure and the Muslim majority.
Religious minority women and girls are abducted,
forcibly converted, forcibly married and abused, and their families are
unsuccessful in their attempts to challenge these crimes using legal avenues,
reported IFFRAS.
While the abductions, forced conversions, forced
marriages and abuse are perpetrated by individuals, the fate of religious
minority women and girls is often sealed as the existing laws or handling of
such cases deem any legal recourse unavailable or ineffective.
Human rights groups have documented the plight of Pakistan’s
religious minorities for years, but it is only recently that these minorities
have become the focus of popular discourse because of revelations on social
media regarding their treatment, reported IFFRAS.
On the evening of August 20 in the Buner district of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, Dina Kaur, a teacher belonging to the
Sikh community, was forcibly abducted and converted to Islam. Despite massive
protests by the Sikh community in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province over the
incident, local police have failed to initiate any investigation into the
abduction and forcible conversion of Dina Kaur.
The plight of women in Pakistan is increasing day by
day as a fresh report has stated that nearly 6,754 women and girls were
abducted in the country’s Punjab province in the first half of 2021. Out of
that, 1,890 women were raped, 3,721 were tortured and 752 girls were raped,
