IWD: Hijabs in Freedom Bins, Woman’s Quran, Celebrating Dissent 2022

Date:

FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, 8 MARCH

Throw our hijabs in ‘Freedom Bin’ and burn them

In the 1960s, feminists threw items of women’s oppression into a “freedom bin” as protest.

On 8 March, International Women’s Day, we throw our hijabs in the “freedom bin” and burn them.

The hijab, a tool to suppress women and girls, belongs in the dustbins of history… Join us.

Surah of the Donkey from the Woman’s Quran

See our latest topless protest here, with a rewrite of a Surah of the Quran.

 ‘Your women are a tilth for you so go to your tilth as ye will.’  – Quran, Surah 223, The Cow

Tilth hay* so you have your share.  – Woman’s Quran, Surah 223, The Donkey

*Donkeys ideally should have a diet consisting of straw or hay.

Celebrating Dissent 2022 is a 2-day conference which will be held in Cologne, Germany during 20-21 August 2022. It will be the largest and most prominent gathering of ex Muslims and freethinkers since the beginning the COVID 19 pandemic.
