Action alert: Islamists are trying to silence women's rights activists




Dear Supporter,

We need your help! It will take just a moment of your time.

Due to pressure from powerful Islamist groups in America, three universities have cancelled screenings of Clarion Project’s latest film Honor Diaries.

Honor Diaries addresses the abuses women and girls face in Muslim-majority societies: forced marriage, female genital mutilation, denial of education, restriction of movement and – the ultimate – honor killings.

The film’s story is told by nine courageous women’s rights activists who witnessed firsthand the oppression women endure and profiles their efforts to affect change in Muslim-majority societies.

We cannot let the Islamists silence the voices of these brave women.

With just a few clicks you can send a letter that we have prepared for you to your congressperson. It will help us achieve two goals:
  1. Help us pass a bill in Congress that will help protect women from oppression and abuse, including those in Muslim-majority societies.
  2. Help us arrange a screening of the film Honor Diaries on Capitol Hill.
We prepared a letter and will send it for you to your congressperson. Make your voice count! It should take less than a minute. Please click here to send your letter now.
