Ni Putes Ni Soumises Organizes a Protest for Rayhana

Ni Putes Ni Soumises is the amazing women's rights organization in Paris, France where I am working as a Human Rights Fellow for a year.

They organized a protest to support Rayhana, the French-Algerian playwright who was attacked recently in front of the theater where she was performing her play, which speaks out against obscurantism and the religious oppression of women in Algeria.  The perpetrators attempted to set her on fire.

This is the link to the piece at Daylight Atheism plus some pics of the protest.
