ETIC Mark International Women’s Day
2009-03-07
International Women’s day have significant
historical background and tremendous means for
women’s value and rights. In 1917, March 8 (
Gregorian calendar) Russian women strike for
“Peace and Bread” against the war. Since then,
march 8 has became the international day of women
to celebrate women’s dedication, courage and their
significant role in the Society, The hands that
rock the cradle rule the world.
Uyghur women have carried a crucial role in
history of East Turkistan. They are not only
shouldered the financial responsibility of the
family equally with man but also played main role
of nurturing the family as being a mother. Most
extensively, Uyghur women were played pivotal role
in carrying Uyghur struggle to the fore front.
Since China occupied the land of East Turkistan
Uyghur women constantly fight for the freedom and
raised many heroes for the Uyghur society. We have
a countless Uyghur women such as Iparhan who
refused to be queen of the Chinese king and
committed to suicide to protect national dignity
in the history and we have many courageous women
in recent history as well. Anargul, who is 23,
fought against the Chinese communist government
and was violently killed in august 2008. Current
Uyghur political leader Rebiya Kadeer, who paid
enormous price to fight with China’s aggressive
rule, is highlighting Uyghur mother’s charm and
courage as well. In March 23, 2008 marked history
as thousands of Uyghur Women in Hoten city of East
Turkistan came forward to protest the China’s
harsh crack down policy on Uyghurs . Many of those
Uyghur women protesters are now suffering in the
Chinese prison. ETIC mark 100 years of
international women’s day and honor our brave
Uyghur women who are playing a key role in Uyghur
people’s freedom. We would like to present a
special thanks to our political leader Rebiya
Kadeer and all of Uyghur women. We also would like
to ask all Uyghur women to place their value on
the identity crisis of Uyghurs facing today.
Uyghur identity is diminishing under the ethnic
cleansing policy of China and Uyghur women could
make great contribution to survival of Uyghurs’
identity..
