The world has lost a fearless voice with the assassination of Yanar Mohammed, a lifelong defender of women facing violence, trafficking, and “honor” killings. Her murder in Baghdad is not only a crime against a person but an assault on the universal struggle for women’s freedom. Agnès Callamard rightly warns that gender justice is under growing global attack, from conflict zones to political repression.
Wars, authoritarianism, and extremism thrive when women’s voices are silenced. The response must be louder solidarity, stronger protection for human rights defenders, and unwavering global accountability.
Yanar Mohammed’s courage must not die with her. Justice demands that her killers be exposed—and that the struggle she led continues stronger than ever.
