(en) Russia, Solidarity with Egyptian women in Moscow, Russia (ru)

Anarcha-feminists came today, 12 february 2013 to the embassy of Egypt in Moscow to 
express solidarity with victims of sexual assault-violence, that happened all through 
Egypt during revolution, and even after reovolution, when Brothers Muslims are in power. 
-- We don?t have illusions about Egyptian government and we don?t ask it to protect 
demonstrators, who are actually protesting against system. ---- We appeal to 
demonstrators, to people, who came out to the square in order to fight for justice and 
better life. Women are the half of the society. It doubles voices in the streets! Women 
will strenghten this movement, if you say ?no? to middle ages customs and let women become 
your comreades in the struggle! ---- Raping is inappropriate and unacceptable. It doesn?t
matter is it your comrade or just a woman in the street.

Rapists are the same as pigs of regime. Islamic patriachal supremacy means enslaving 
women. Brothers muslims want to keep women as slaves at the kitchen. They want liberty
only for heterosexual men. That?s not neither fair, nor human. If you
liberate only one part of the society, it won?t be liberation, it?ll be
discrimination and terror. A woman isn?t an object, she isn?t a doll
or a slave, she isn?t a cook or a housekeeper, she doesn?t belong to
you. No one can decide what should she do with her body and life.

A society built on hierarhy and discrimination can?t be fair. Real
changes are possible only if you start respect yourselves and people
around. Liberation is about mutual help and solidarity.

Only by consolidating their forces people will be able to depose all the
tyrant and oppressors.

That?s why we say:

? Free the revolutionary potential of a woman!

Woman is a comrade, not a devil!

Commit revolutionary violence, not sexual!?
