The Amara Women’s Assembly in Frankfurt yesterday held its weekly justice action organized to demand justice for the three Kurdish women assassinated in Paris, Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Şaylemez.

The women’s protest took place in front of the French Embassy in Frankfurt at Bokunhaime Warte. The women opened a banner which read: “We have not forgotten the Paris murders, we will not let them be forgotten,” and carried the pictures of the three women murdered. The women chanted the slogan “Sakine, Leyla, Fidan are living” and commemorated Özgecan Aslan, who was brutally killed in Mersin and whose body was afterwards burnt by three men.

The Amara Women’s Assembly also issued a statement calling on all women to unite and to raise their voices against male violence.

Following the reading out of the statement about the Paris murders in German, the women ended their protest, saying they would assemble again next week.
