Why it matters:
Global support for women and children in Gaza, who have suffered disproportionately from deaths, has grown into a widespread movement.
The big picture:
The women of Gaza are facing extremely difficult and unimaginable conditions: some have lost their husbands, others their children, and many their entire families due to the brutal crimes of the occupying forces. A large number of Gaza women have also suffered various disabilities as a result of the aggression, with all enduring severe mental and psychological trauma.
What he's saying:
At a ceremony commemorating the Islamic Day to Combat Violence Against Women, Ammar Hakim condemned the behavior of the Zionist regime and emphasized the moral responsibility of Islamic organizations.
"The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League must take a decisive and effective stance against the Zionist regime's aggression." “Islam was the first religion to give women dignity and social rights,” he added.
