Video | We are not afraid, we are extremely angry: Muslim women on ‘Sulli Deals’
Afreen Fathima, Ladeeda Farzana and Nabiya Khan, the Muslim women activists who gave police complaints against hate crime targeting them, said that they are extremely angry and not afraid.
“I have been targeted because of my work, my gender and my religion”
On Thursday, Delhi based poet and Muslim woman activist Nabiya Khan has shared a brief but strong statement on action against "Sulli deals." Photographs of more than 80 other Muslim women, including students, activists and journalists, had been uploaded by an unidentified Hindutva group on an application “Sulli Deals” using GitHub on 4 July with the sole purpose to auction off the Muslim women. Nabiya Khan's profile was also up for virtual auction on “Sulli deals”. After days of outrage largely by Muslim women online against this hate crime, the Delhi Police registered a police complaint following the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) and the National Commission for Women called for an investigation into the matter.
