The violence against women is a global tragedy and the murdering ofthe Pakistani minister for not wearing the Islamic Hijab and the rapesof Iraqi women in Iraqi prisons by the state forces are some examplesof state-sanctioned and sponsored violence against women in the worldtoday.Penlog condemns all violence and discriminations against women anddemands the immediate release of the thirty-three arrested women in Iran .
