Murder of woman in Qamishli sparks women's anger
Yesterday, the city of Qamishli witnessed a horrific murder of a woman, sparking widespread anger and condemnation, particularly among women and human rights activists who took to the streets today, demanding justice and an end to violence against women.
In front of the Sara Organization for Combating Violence Against Women's Center in the Halko neighborhood of Qamishli, women, along with activists and human rights activists, gathered for a protest, expressing shock and public anger over the murder of a woman in her forties yesterday in the city
The protesters' banners expressed their pain and absolute rejection of these crimes, including "No to the killing of women," "Women are no one's property," "Enough violence," and "Women are the pulse of life."
For its part, the Sara Organization condemned the crime. In a statement read by its member, Takoshin Mohammed, it said, "The perpetrators of this crime are not heroes, but criminals." The organization emphasized that the solution lies not in silencing the victims, but in prosecuting and holding the perpetrators accountable.
The organization called for the abolition of laws that grant mitigating sentences and for efforts to provide full protection for survivors and witnesses.
The statement added that this crime is not just an isolated incident, but rather comes within the context of a culture that encourages impunity and is fueled by rhetoric that justifies violence against women. It emphasized that "every murder of a woman means not just the loss of an individual, but tears apart an entire family and sends a frightening message that women are not safe even in their own homes."
The organization also called for the abolition of all laws that mitigate penalties for femicide, and demanded that gender-based violence be considered a crime against humanity, requiring strict and deterrent penalties
