I already can’t deal anymore with the pictures of this Muslim woman on the beach being forced to undress by armed policemen being shared en masse on social medias. This woman’s face isn’t even blurred, she’s recognizable and nobody doesn’t even seem to stop and think that maybe she doesn’t want those pictures to be shared? This woman could have been my aunt, a cousin or any other Muslim woman I know. And that’s not fun to see pictures of us humiliated and threatened by armed people being shared en masse. That ain’t funny and that ain’t endearing to see that it takes shocking, dehumanizing and humiliating pictures for people to care. It’s been more than a decade that Muslim women have been attesting to similar cases of physical/symbolical/moral violence. “Glad” to see it takes pictures to realize what’s happening though. Keep sharing and making a spectacle out of it.
So, apparently, this woman expressed the wish that her anonymity be preserved so please don’t share those pictures unless her face is blurred at the very least.
