The Birth of a New Women's Movement in the Maldives 2012 (English) - Anhenunge Aah Rooheh
Channel: Maldivian Detainees
Date: 2012-03-13

A new women's movement came into being after the first democratically elected Maldivian government was forced out on 7 February 2012 by elements in the military, opposition and religious extremists. An illegitimate government was sworn in right after the coup, replacing President Mohamed Nasheed with his Vice President Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik. Violent crackdowns have begun, imposing an atmosphere of fear and repression. The women of the nation are calling for the restoration of democratic order through immediate elections and to the end of being supressed by extremist religious elements which have gained an upper hand after the coup.
