As some Sahrawi women living under the illegal Moroccan occupation of our land and that has become the main target of repression with which you are attempting to stifle the Sahrawi resistance against occupation in the occupied cities women Western Sahara, we reject violence in all its manifestations.

In any conflict, women carry the brunt of war crimes, but in the Western Sahara case, women are not only the mere consideration to humiliate one side as it does the occupying Moroccan. Unlike what happens in the rest of the world the Sahrawi women we have distinguished us from the times of the colonization by our active role in the industrial struggle for Justice and freedom of our people.

The policy of terror and repression erected in system in the occupied areas, is the price that we are paying for have we not limited to a passive role in the interior of our homes and have become the engine of a struggle that has used the claim to Pacific FICA as main ammunition.


In Western Sahara, we have countless examples of struggle of our women who have sacrificed their lives and their families for the struggle of the scrupulous respect for human rights. Chilling testimonies of Sahrawi women, which passed through prisons and were kidnapped in the Moroccan Dungeon, suffering all kinds of torture and harassment, including the see how the lives of his own family is desgastaban in the same prison day after day until they die without be able to embrace his own, is a mere example of the courage and tenacity of the Sahrawi fighting heroines.


The Sahrawi resistance in occupied Western Sahara zones occupied by Morocco, in our major cities are by occupation forces Moroccan with its arsenal of weapons and material to military, which represents a dangerous situation of abuse and provocation that lasts for more than 43 years ago. A conflict that represents the biggest violation against a people and its women. He is representing the occupation is Moroccan and the inaction of the international community. The Sahrawi women condemn violence against women as well as all violence exercised against people for any reason.
Our struggle is peaceful and through it we demand our legitimate right to freedom and independence, and we call on UN to hold the referendum on self-determination which should solve this problem of decolonization and thus allow women once Add to building an egalitarian and equitable society away from the violence and repression.

International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances: CEAS-Sahara urges MINURSO to ensure access to places where there are reports of mass graves

Madrid, August 30, 2018 (SPS) - The State Coordinating Committee of Associations in Solidarity with the Sahrawi people (CEAS-Sahara) has demanded in a statement on the occasion of  the International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances that MINURSO (United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara) ensure access to places where there are reports of mass graves or burials of dead or disappeared persons and that independent teams can carry out this identification and return to their families.

CEAS-Sahara has stated in its statement that Enforced disappearance is still a reality in Western Sahara and "is one of the most atrocious behaviors carried out for decades against the Saharawi people that still hopes to make effective their rights to justice, truth and reparation. . "

CEAS-Sahara said that the Sahrawi disappeared persons in the graves where exhumations have been carried out, and in other cases still pending clarification, were Spanish citizens.

On December 21, 2010, the General Assembly of the United Nations expressed its concern over the increase in forced disappearances in various regions of the world and decided to declare August 30, International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances.

AFAPREDESA, the Association of Relatives of Prisoners and Sahrawis Disappeared continues working on the search of more than 400 documented cases of victims of enforced disappearances in Western Sahara. The majority of these disappearances occurred during the first years of the military occupation of the territory (between 1975 and 1976).

CEAS-Sahara said that there is ample evidence of the existence of mass graves in Western Sahara. The places of burial of the Sahrawi people who died in the clandestine detention centers have not been revealed, nor have their remains been rescued and identified, nor returned to their families for their burial and mourning.

At the invitation AFAPREDESA, a forensic investigation team of HEGOA, Institute of the University of the Basque Country, under the direction of Professor Francisco Etxeberria Gabilondo, has proceeded to the exhumation of different common graves .

In this context, in light of the results of the investigations carried out to date from CEAS-Sahara, it warned of the risk that the sites are of common graves being destroyed by the Moroccan occupying administration given that some of those places are in zones under military or police control.

CEAS-Sahara demanded that the Spanish State assume its responsibility. The disappeared Sahrawi people in the graves where exhumations have been carried out, in other cases still pending clarification, were Spanish citizens at the time of the events.

The Spanish State maintains its responsibility to investigate and support the recognition of the victims of enforced disappearance of the Saharawi people, and this has been recognized in the investigation of the case of genocide that continues in the National Court. SPS

On July 31, 1962 was institutionalized the "day of the African woman" during a Conference of African women, held in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania, which was attended by representatives of 14 countries and eight national liberation movements.

That Act was based, so that, in 1974, was created the Pan-African organization of the women (OPM), which aims to allow the change in the lives of African women, promoting their progress, justice and peace in the world.

The OPM to the UNMS and various women's organizations working to ensure the participation of women in decision-making, respect for human rights, as well as the Elimination of all forms of discrimination and violence against them.

African women's day is an exceptional moment, because it highlights the history of struggles for freedom of expression, the African mother's love as well as their contribution to the progress and evolution of societies internationally. This day is an opportunity to honor the women of a continent full of challenges, but also full of possibilities and progress for liberation and the building of a tolerant and egalitarian society in the framework of the objectives and activities to develop in the program marked by the Decade of African woman 2010-2020.

The contributions of African women to the family economy, food production systems, and national economies in general, is being recognized gradually because they constitute 80% of the people who implement actions of trade transnational, generating millions of dollars a year into the economies of sub-Saharan Africa. However, most of the policies implemented by Governments have obviated these contributions, so the women who perform these tasks act with little or no institutional support.

Different international institutions (UN women, World Bank and NGOs) are working at the regional and country level to promote women's economic empowerment: business training programs, microcredit programs, assistance Financial, etc... These institutions also work to eliminate other barriers, such as trade policies and regulations that hinder women's access to markets. Sahrawi women want to congratulate African women on this day of African women and we demand the end of the occupation of our country by Morocco and its military and police forces so that our freedom is a reality that allows us to change In the lives of Sahrawi women, To promote with our progress, justice and peace in our continent and in the world.
