More than 20,000 Syrian civilians fled Ghouta where the regime's army is advancing. In total chaos, civilians continue to flee the eastern enclave, redirecting towards Damascus. On March 17, hundreds of exhausted people have borrowed the corridor opened by the pro-regime forces in the south of the rebel enclave now divided into three parts. Since Thursday, the departures are made by thousands in direction of the territory held by the authorities as bombings continue to intensify in Hammouriyé’s area. In this area, the army and allied militias have made significant progress. 🥀💣💥

Prophet Muhammed (SAW) believed in treating women with respect and kindness. In a time where women were subjected to a lot of violence, he gave them honor and dignity. Then today we have those arguing Islam as being repressive towards women, and are even justifying their mistreatment in a distorted interpretation of what is a religion of peace. To all men out there, treat women as you wish your mother, sisters, cousins, or female friends would be treated. There is no excuse and no foundation in Islam in relation to women’s oppression, at the opposite. ☪️🕊

In Tunisia, the debate on equality between men and women in inheritance takes hold. Two thousand people demonstrated on March 10 in Tunis, in order to demand the end of the "injustice" imposing the unequal inheritance between men and women. "Equality! "," Equality! ". The slogan was everywhere. About 2,000 people marched to end discrimination against women in inheritance. Tunisia's women's rights have seen more massive protests than this one, especially when the Islamists Ennahda were in power (late 2011-early 2014). This was an historic event as it was the first time that a demonstration was specifically organized against inequality in inheritance. This topic is eminently sensitive because inheritance is inscribed in Tunisian traditions. According to Tunisian law, and following the interpretation of the Qur’an, a woman inherits only half of what a man inherits. In Morocco, we have the exact same issue although our 2011 Constitution affirms the principle of gender equality in its preamble and in Article 19. Still, gender inequality remains as one of the biggest issues in our society and many barriers are not allowing women’s liberation. Hopefully, Morocco will follow Tunisia’s lead and we will be able to access to the same rights as men possess, and this, in all matters. 🇹🇳⚖️🕊

In the middle of the Oscars ceremony, three actresses took the floor to highlight the necessary freedom of speech for women as well as the little representation that is given to them and all other minorities in Hollywood. It took more than two hours for the 90th Academy Awards to offer what was expected for too long: a tribute to women and minorities too long removed from Hollywood. After a year marked by the Weinstein affair but also by the success of films such as Wonder Woman, Get Out and Black Panther, the Academy paid tribute to the creative possibilities emanating from these works through a ‘Trailblazers’ montage. They also took a moment to discuss the achievements of non-white-male actors, directors, writers, and more in recent cinema. The sequence was introduced by Ashley Judd, Salma Hayek and Annabella Sciorra, three victims of Harvey Weinstein who came on stage to talk about the action of the Time's Up movement for gender equality in Hollywood. “The changes we are witnessing are being driven by the powerful sound of new voices…our voices, joining together in a mighty chorus that is finally saying ‘Time’s up,'” Sciorra said. 🎞📽🎙

Park Geun-hye is accused of having accepted or been promised bribes for a total of 44.8 million euros from three South Korea conglomerates. The South Korean prosecutor’s office has demanded yesterday a sentence of 30 years of imprisonment. Park Geun-hye was President of South Korea (2013-2017) and is currently appearing for corruption and abuse of power. The dismissal of Mrs. Park was confirmed in March 2017 by the highest court in the country after the huge scandal she has been at the heart of. She has been in custody for almost a year. This is the example of a proficient judicial system as no matter who you are, head of state or not, you are not excused. The law prevails over your statute. It is a shame that the first woman to be elected President in both South Korea and East Asia ends up being a real disappointment. But I guess that politics are still a domain ruled by “sharks” who only seek money, power and fame. Politics should be a way of representing the people and fulfilling their demands. As Machiavelli said “The end justifies the means”. Ending up on a positive note, congratulations South Korea for serving justice! I still have hope that we, as future generations, we will change the game and make politics a non-corrupted milieu, and promote social justice. 🇰🇷⚖️

Over 500 people have been killed in Syria in the last five days. Among them, 150 were children. The real challenge is now that of the implementation of Resolution 2401 of the UN Security Council, approved Saturday with the unanimity of its fifteen members. The UNSC Resolution claims "without delay" a cease-fire in Syria with at least thirty consecutive days for a lasting humanitarian pause. The Syrian regime, with the support of Tehran, continued its operations in eastern Ghouta at the gates of Damascus, where nearly 400,000 inhabitants have been subjected for a week to a flood of fire, which killed more than 500 people according to the latest assessment of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH). Pray for Syria, pray for peace, pray for humanity. 🇸🇾🥀

Gaza is collapsing. Already overwhelmed by three wars, by the Egyptian-Israeli double blockade in force since 2007 and its seizure by Hamas, the Palestinian territory is approaching the ditch. The deterioration has accelerated since the end of 2017 at a rate that alarms. Money is gone, there is an unemployment rate of 50%. With the impossible reconciliation between enemy Palestinian factions (the Fatah of President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas Islamists) the absence of a real government, the 30% cut in salaries of civil servants by the Palestinian Authority since March 2017 and Trump administration's offensive, things are not likely to improve any time soon. The future of Gaza is definitely bleak. 🇵🇸💣💥

In the Islamic Republic of Iran, some women removed their veil in public to protest against power. Back in January, the center of Tehran was the corner of protests against the mandatory rule according to which women have to wear the veil in public. On January 29, a girl mounted on a high block. She took off her white veil and knotted it around a stick and gently stirred it for a few minutes. Around her wrist, she wore a green ribbon, the color of the protest movement in 2009, against the re-election of former populist president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (2005-2013). Not long after, her image spread on social networks. Elsewhere in Tehran and around Iran, other women have carried out the same action, this time with black and red scarves. Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979, women have been required to cover their entire body except for their face and hands. A specific brigade, known as the Islamic Religious Police known as Guidance Patrol, ensures the “good respect” of this law. Stationed in the squares of Iranian cities, these police officers arrest women who are "badly veiled", taking them to the station, where they will be photographed as criminals, and sometimes sentenced to pay a fee. As a Muslim, I find that this law is a pity. Wearing the veil shouldn’t be an obligation to any woman on earth. First, the veil is rather cultural than religious. Second, women should be free of wearing whatever they want. Third, this law is perpetuating stereotypes. Fourth, thank you again to Western hegemony as the Iranian revolution is a consequence of it. I could continue for hours… Anyway, I would like to salute these strong women as they are speaking for themselves and fighting for their rights. There is still a long path for our fight for gender equality, and hopefully, we will achieve equality some day. Don’t give up, each voice matters, we can do this! We won’t be oppressed anymore. 🇮🇷⛔️🚷

The American fashion brand Guess announced today that Paul Marciano, co-founder of the brand, withdraws from his responsibilities following the charges of sexual harassment of which he is the subject. In early February, Paul Marciano (who has Moroccan origins and is native of Debdou) was accused of sexual harassment, in a series of tweets by Kate Upton, an actress, and model. He has publicly denied all allegations against him. In a statement, Paul Marciano declared leaving his duties temporarily. On the other hand, the brand stated that it would take all charges of sexual harassment very seriously. According to CNBC, Guess sales declined more than 15% this month, since Kate Upton’s declaration. ‼️⛔️‼️

On Sunday, the US president accused the FBI of missing the warning signs that pointed to the Florida shootings, arguing the US federal police was spending "too much time" on the Russian investigation. Donald Trump is making things worse. Two days after the conviction of 13 Russian nationals by the prosecutor Robert Mueller, Trump virulently accused the federal police of failing to prevent the killing in a high school in Florida. The agency had indeed been alerted in January on the alarming behavior of the author of the shooting. However, this is not the main issue. Here are 3 facts: 1) The number of mass shootings in the US this year reached 30. 2)There have been nearly as many US mass shootings as days in 2018. 3) Americans are more likely to die from gun violence than many leading causes of death combined, with some 11,000 people in the US killed in firearm assaults each year. Last Wednesday, a gunman opened fire on students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and killed at least 17 people. This became the deadliest mass shooting of 2018 and among the deadliest in U.S. history. It is time to consider serious policy changes. Thoughts and prayers are great but they are not going to change anything. Gun violence has reached its peak in the last years, and many innocent lives have perished for no valid reason. It is time to make an end to this. The right to carry a gun is supposed to make U.S. citizens safer, but its doing the complete opposite. The second amendment needs to be abolished. U.S. citizens, don’t you think that your child’s right to feel safe at school outweighs your right to carry guns? May all the souls victim of gun violence RIP. 🇺🇸🔫⚰️
