Ni Putes Ni Soumises Leads a March for Sarah

Ni Putes Ni Soumises (NPNS – Neither Whores Nor Submissives) led a march through the 15th arrondissement of Paris on Saturday, April 17th, 2010, at 3 pm, to honor the short life of Sarah Tounsi, a 19-year-old young woman who was pushed out of a window and fell to her death.  Ni Putes Ni Soumises is an international human rights organization, with headquarters in Paris, France, that advocates on behalf of women’s rights as universal human rights without compromise.

The President of Ni Putes Ni Soumises, Sihem Habchi, led a group of approximately 100 friends, family and women’s rights activists from Camille See high school to the apartment building where Sarah met an untimely death.  Sarah’s mother moved the crowd to tears with her heartfelt words.  Ms. Habchi promised that Ni Putes Ni Soumises would continue the fight against all forms of domestic and gender violence in honor of Sarah’s all-too-short life.
