NOURNEWS: This year, on International Women's Day, the situation is critical as Gaza, in occupied territories, becomes a killing ground for many women. From October 7 to March 8, over 31,000 Palestinians have fallen victim to the brutal attacks of Zionist occupiers, resulting in 200 martyrs a day, 8 every hour, and one Palestinian every 8 minutes. To these 31,000 victims, add 72,000 injured and wounded, and hundreds of thousands displaced and homeless to comprehend the dimensions of cruelty and occupation. In this five-month massacre, more than 7,000 women, 45 a day, and 2 martyrs every hour have suffered. Half of the injured, wounded, and displaced are also women. On March 8, 2024, with this number of innocent women's coffins, the International Women's Day is commemorated. Can anyone recall a year in the 47 years since March 8 was designated as International Women's Day when 45 unarmed women a day fell victim to the deadly and brutal violence of racist government forces? This year's International Women's Day is a mourning ceremony for women and mothers who tragically lost their lives before the eyes of official, private, and online media channels. Still, these millions of witnesses have not taken action aside from expressing sorrow and condolences.
