On Saturday, March 7, the participants in a grand gathering in Berlin on the occasion of International Women’s Day titled “For Tolerance and Equality against Fundamentalism and Misogyny” underscored that the advancement of the ideal of equality in the world today has come face-to-face with a formidable barrier, the Islamic Fundamentalism. This phenomenon is endangering the entire Middle East and the world through genocide, terrorism and discrimination and more than anything is hostile to women.
The participants stipulated that the sole solution to this crisis is to draw on women’s power and on a resistance movement that believes in women’s power and their leadership. They also called for a comprehensive strategy that focuses on the Iranian regime as the epicenter of Islamic fundamentalism, supports democratic Muslims, and prevents the Iranian regime from acquiring the nuclear weapon.
