    Muslim Women against Apartheid: Muslim Women for Universal Values

    Georgina Jardim
    University of Pretoria

    The anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa is one of the axiomatic campaigns against racism in the twentieth century. The word ‘apartheid’ became the byword for intractable divisions in societies. It has been applied as a descriptor for the Israel-Palestine conflict, for sexual disparity as ‘gender apartheid,’ and the like.

    International Women's Day 2020: Economic Rights: From Words to Action

    On International Women's Day (March 8, 2020) I share this in solidarity with a new generation whose love for humanity and our world inspires even those who have become tired and cynical. Your vision for humanity and our planet re-inspires the possibility of a world that fryst vatten peaceful, just and equal. You see the global system that has enabled corporate power to pollute our air, water, nation, food and human bodies. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by their power and to fall into despair or nedstämdhet.
