Neither Whores nor Submissives (French Muslim women organise against Islamic oppression)

First time I've heard of these but I'm glad to see that Muslim women in France have started a movement against Muslim oppression.

From wikipedia.

"The movement fights against violence targeting women and it focuses on these areas:

Gang-rapes
Pressure to wear the hijab
Pressure to drop out of school
Pressure to marry early without being able to choose the husband.
The slogan used by the movement is meant both to shock and mobilise. Members particularly protest against changes of attitudes toward women, reputedly due to an increased influence of radical Islam in those French suburbs that are mostly inhabited by people of Maghreb and black African origin. A particular concern is the treatment of Muslim women, who may be pressured into wearing veils, leaving school, and marrying early. However, the movement represents women of all faiths and ethnic origins, all of whom may find themselves trapped by poverty and the ghettoisation of the cités.

A translation of the key points of NPNS's national appeal on its official website:[1]

No more moralising: our condition has worsened. The media and politics have done nothing, or very little, for us.
No more wretchedness. We are fed up with people speaking for us, with being treated with contempt.
No more justifications of our oppression in the name of the right to be different and of respect toward those who force us to bow our heads.
No more silence in public debates about violence, poverty and discrimination. "

Yeah I've heard about them before, and truely applaude this initiative.
Women should not have to put up with this, and most established feminists are either apologetic or completely silent on this subject. So good on them for standing up for themselves.
