ويجب أن تتمكّن الصحفيات من أداء عملهن بأمان، وأن تتاح للناجيات والناجين الرعاية وإعادة التأهيل وسبل الانتصاف الفعّالة.

بعد مرور ثلاث سنوات، تؤكد مطالبة عاصي أن النجاة من اعتداء يجب ألا تعني العيش دون إنصاف. فالمساءلة ضرورية لحماية الصحفيين والصحفيات، وضمان عدم إفلات مرتكبي العنف بحق من يوثّقون النزاعات من العقاب.

وفي نداء نشرته في 13 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2026، دعت عاصي الاتحاد الأوروبي إلى المطالبة بكشف هوية من أمر بالهجوم وأجاز تنفيذه ونفّذه.

تتضامن فيمينا مع المصوّرة الصحفية اللبنانية كريستينا عاصي في مطالبتها المتجددة بمحاسبة المسؤولين عن الضربة الإسرائيلية التي استهدفت صحفيين في 13 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2023، وأودت بحياة زميلها، مصوّر وكالة رويترز عصام عبدالله، وأصابتها بجروح بالغة استدعت بتر ساقها اليمنى.

Protecting women journalists requires both preventing attacks and defending their right to truth, justice and reparation.

023

Femena calls for an independent and effective investigation and accountability for those responsible. We urge the European Union and international partners to support survivors’ pursuit of justice through concrete diplomatic and legal action.

123

Women journalists must be able to report safely, and survivors must have access to care, rehabilitation and effective remedies.

123

Three years later, Assi’s demand underscores that surviving an attack must not mean living without access to justice. Accountability is essential to protecting journalists and ensuring that violence against those documenting conflict does not go unpunished.

122

In an appeal published on 13 October 2026, Assi called on the European Union to demand answers about who ordered, authorized and carried out the attack.

Femena stands with Lebanese photojournalist Christina Assi in her renewed demand for accountability for the Israeli strike that killed her colleague, Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah, and left her with severe injuries requiring the amputation of her right leg on 13 October 2023.

وإلى حين الإفراج عنها، على السلطات ضمان حصولها الفوري على رعاية طبية كافية، بما فيها العلاج خارج السجن عند الضرورة، وتمكينها من التواصل مع محاميها على انفراد وبسرية. إن صون صحتها وكرامتها وحريتها لا يحتمل التأجيل.

يجب ألّا يُجرَّم دعم أسر المعتقلين. وتحثّ فيمينا السلطات المصرية على الإفراج عن عرفة وإسقاط التهم المرتبطة حصرًا بعملها الحقوقي السلمي.

تعاني عرفة من انزلاقات غضروفية في العمود الفقري وارتفاع ضغط الدم، وسبق أن أُصيبت بانصمام رئوي وفقر دم. وهي بحاجة إلى فحوصات متخصصة وعلاج مناسب. كما حرمها احتجازها المطوّل من ابنتها، التي لم تكن تتجاوز العامين عند اعتقالها.

100

أمضت عرفة أكثر من ست سنوات محرومةً من حريتها بسبب عملها الحقوقي السلمي، بما في ذلك دعم أسر المحتجزين لأسباب سياسية. ويجعل تدهور حالتها الصحية وعدم حصولها على رعاية طبية كافية الإفراج عنها ضرورة عاجلة.

قبيل جلسة محاكمتها المقررة في 17 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر، تطالب فيمينا بالإفراج الفوري وغير المشروط عن المدافعة عن حقوق الإنسان والمترجمة مروة عرفة. فمنذ اعتقالها في 20 نيسان/أبريل 2020،

100

Pending her release, authorities must ensure immediate access to adequate medical care, including treatment outside prison where necessary, and guarantee confidential access to legal counsel. Her health, dignity, and freedom cannot wait.

000

Supporting detainees’ families must never be criminalized. Femena urges the Egyptian authorities to release Arafa and drop charges stemming solely from her peaceful human rights work.

100

Her prolonged detention has also separated her from her daughter, who was just two years old when she was arrested.

100

Arafa suffers from spinal disc conditions and high blood pressure and has previously experienced a pulmonary embolism and anaemia. She requires specialist examinations and appropriate treatment.

100

Her deteriorating health and inadequate access to medical care make her release urgent.

100

Detained since 20 April 2020, Arafa has spent more than six years deprived of her freedom for peaceful human rights work, including supporting families of people detained for political reasons.

100

Ahead of her scheduled court hearing on 17 October, Femena calls for the immediate and unconditional release of woman human rights defender and translator Marwa Arafa.

101

We further call on the Iranian authorities to end the criminalization of peaceful labor activism and respect workers’ rights to freedom of association, expression, and peaceful assembly.

000

Femena condemns the repeated persecution of Nahid Khodajoo and calls for her immediate and unconditional release. Iranian authorities must immediately disclose her whereabouts, guarantee her safety and well-being, and ensure her access to legal counsel and communication with her family.

100

Her latest arrest reflects the Iranian authorities’ continued persecution of independent labor activists and women human rights defenders who organize, advocate for workers’ rights, and challenge systematic violations of fundamental freedoms.

100

Her sentence also included a two-year ban on membership in political and social organizations. In February 2024, she was arrested again and transferred to Evin Prison to serve her sentence.

100

Following that arrest, she was sentenced to six years in prison and 74 lashes on charges of “assembly and collusion against national security” and “disrupting public order.”

100

Khodajoo has faced repeated arrests and judicial persecution for her peaceful labor rights activities. She was previously arrested on May 1, 2019, during an International Workers’ Day gathering outside the Iranian Parliament.

100

According to reports, security agents raided Khodajou’s home, searched her belongings, and transferred her to an undisclosed location. Six days after her arrest, her family had received no information about her place of detention, the reasons for her arrest, or any charges brought against her.

100

Femena expresses grave concern over the renewed arrest and incommunicado detention of #NahidKhodajoo, a prominent Iranian labor rights activist and board member of the Free Union of Iranian Workers. Khodajoo was arrested by security forces on October 6, 2026, and her whereabouts remain unknown.

Family forgiveness must never replace public responsibility for addressing femicide. We demand comprehensive legislation against gender-based violence, the repeal of discriminatory provisions that enable impunity, and accessible shelters, protection and legal support for women facing threats.

000

Femena mourns Maryam’s death and demands a prompt, independent investigation into everyone alleged to have committed, facilitated or helped conceal it, followed by accountability through fair proceedings.

100

When relatives are connected to both the victim and the accused, a woman’s access to justice can depend on the very family that excuses her killing. These laws and institutional failures protect perpetrators at the expense of women’s lives.

100

Iran’s discriminatory legal framework helps sustain this violence. Domestic violence and marital rape remain uncriminalized, while family forgiveness can substantially weaken accountability for murder.

100

Earlier cases, including Mona Heydari’s killing in 2022 or Romina Ashrafi in 2020, remain stark reminders of the failure to protect women and prevent further violence.

100

Maryam’s killing follows other widely reported murders, including those of journalist Mansoureh Ghadiri Javid in 2024 and Elaheh Hosseinnejad in 2025.

100

Relatives reportedly defended those accused and sought their release. The men accused of involvement in her killing were publicly presented as grieving family members.

100

Reports allege that her husband removed their children from the home before the attack. Repeated knife wounds targeting her neck, breasts and genitals reveal the extreme brutality inflicted on her body. This violence reflects a patriarchal belief that women’s bodies and lives belong to men.

Maryam Yarmohammadi, a 28-year-old mother of two, was reportedly murdered by her brother in Qeshm on 5 October,2026. #JusticeForMaryam #EndFemicide #EndViolenceAgainstWomen

كما نحثّ منصات التواصل الاجتماعي على حفظ الأدلة والتحرك سريعًا ضد المحتوى الذي يتضمّن تهديدًا أو تحريضًا على العنف، مع توفير آليات إبلاغ يسهل الوصول إليها ودعم فعّال باللغة العربية.

إن الدعوات إلى العنف ضد صحفية بسبب تغطيتها الصحفية ومواقفها العلنية تشكّل تهديدًا خطيرًا لسلامتها، وتهدف إلى إسكات الأصوات المستقلة في وقت تشتد فيه الحاجة إلى الوصول إلى المعلومات وإتاحة النقاش العام.

‏Femena calls for a prompt, independent investigation into the threats against Rasha Awad and accountability for those responsible. Any protection measures must be developed in consultation with her, respect her privacy and autonomy, and enable her to continue her work safely.

100

Calls for violence against a journalist over her reporting and public positions pose a serious threat to her safety and are intended to silence independent voices at a time when access to information and public debate are essential.
