From Friday 2 March 2007 from Germany via France, Holland and other countries towards the European Commission Building in Brussels
Speakers at the European Commission demonstration:
Mahin Alipour
Maryam Namazie
The march towards Brussels and the European Commission building will begin on Friday 2 March from Germany.
During the march, meetings and speeches will be organised along the way. Once there, they will submit a grievance against the veil to the European Commission.
Our march is against the veil. It is the voice of protest of millions of women against this symbol of slavery. We demand the banning of child veiling as well as the banning of the veil in all work places and social centres.
Join us in Brussels to express your opposition to the veil and anti-women Islamic laws. Show your support for the widespread women’s liberation and equality seeking movement in Iran.
Long live 8 March, International Women’s Day!
Long live Women’s Freedom
Long live socialism

The Quran does not mandate women wearing the veil. The only oppressive form of veiling is when it is legally mandated, not religiously. March against legal systems, not the veil itself.
