Dr. Ali Qaradaghi releases a message on International Women's Day.

"On International Women's Day...
Yes, it's only one international day...
But in Gaza, every day is a day of slaughter against Palestinian Muslim women, their honor, and dignity, carried out by the filthiest army...
Islam does not condone any kind of attack on women, whether in war or in peace...
Rather, our true religion emphasizes the importance of respecting and valuing women at all times, not just on one specific day...
Because Islam teaches us that women are partners in life and society, and they have their own special and respected duties and rights... Therefore, Muslims should celebrate and honor women every day, not just on one specific day...
What, in contrast, does our occupying enemy do? It humiliates women. Everything that is happening is a war against women.
Yes, on International Women's Day, a war has been waged against Palestinian Muslim women and their dignity by the filthiest army.
When will the world awaken from this hypocrisy, and when will our Islamic strength and spirit move?"

It is worth noting that, according to UN statistics, since the beginning of the war, 9,000 women have lost their lives. This means 63 women die daily, 37 of whom are mothers, and 2 mothers are martyred every hour. 1.9 million people have left their homes in Gaza, one million of whom are women. 3,000 women have become widows, and there is no safe place for them. It is possible that 5,500 pregnant women will give birth at the beginning of this month, and 840 of these pregnant women may face childbirth complications. This is happening while hospitals are out of service and fuel is not available in the city.
