The Sahrawi women wish to express our unconditional solidarity with all the women of the world

On the occasion of November 25, declared by the United Nations "Day international's fight against violence and gender". the Sahrawi women wish to express our unconditional solidarity with all the women of the world who are victims of abuse who are murdered by the mere fact of being a woman or to defend their rights. 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.
