Scene from the occupation: it’s not hard to imagine the extreme discomfort & fear this Kashmiri woman in Bijbehara felt as she walked past these paramilitary soldiers. Women not only fear for their own safety when the occupying army ogles, harasses, intimidates, & uses rape as a weapon of occupation, but they fear for their children who are being targeted & lest their husbands, brothers, fathers be arrested.

StandWithTheWomenOfKashmir

Demand the immediate release of all political prisoners & the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all Indian forces from Kashmir.
