Wednesday, August 20, 2025 - The Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria,
FOMWAN, has strongly condemned the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza,
labelling it a “genocide” and calling for global solidarity to end the
bloodshed.
The condemnation was issued on Wednesday, in Kaduna by the
organization’s National Amirah, Mrs Rafiah Idowu Sanni, during a press
conference to usher in its 40th-anniversary celebrations and an international
conference.
She said, “we stand firmly with the oppressed people of
Palestine and frown at the indiscriminate killings of women, children, and
journalists, acts that violate every standard of humanity and international
law.”
The group prayed to Allah to grant relief to the people of
Gaza, patience to the bereaved, healing to the wounded, and liberation to the
oppressed.
The group outlined its activities with the theme: “Empowering Muslim Women: Climate Resilience, Sustainability, and Community Development – Celebrating FOMWAN’s Achievements, noting its commitment to equipping women to meet future challenges by combining Islamic values with practical solutions to safeguard the environment and ensure inclusive development.
