On 25 November, International Day against Violence against Women, there 
will be an international conference on *Sharia, Segregation and 
Secularism* in central London with 38 notable speakers from 24 countries 
and the Diaspora who are leaders in the fight for equality, secularism 
and against the far-Right and religious fundamentalisms of all stripes.
Keynote speakers at the conference are Centre for Secular Space Director 
*Gita Sahgal*, Southall Black Sisters Director *Pragna Patel* and Asia 
Bibi’s Lawyer, *Saif Ul Malook*. Asia Bibi is a Christian woman accused 
of blasphemy who was on death row in Pakistan for eight years. Saif Ul 
Malook successfully defended Bibi and she was released on appeal in 
November 2018.
Other distinguished speakers at the one-day event include Bangladeshi 
Writer *Bonya Ahmed* who survived a brutal attack which resulted in the 
murder of her husband Avijit Roy; Moroccan Activist *Ibtissame Betty 
Lachgar*; FEMEN Leader *Inna Shevchenko*; Algerian Sociologist *Marieme 
Helie Lucas*; Tunisian Filmmaker *Nadia El Fani*; Polish Secularist 
*Nina Sankari *and Women in Black Belgrade Co-Founder *Stasa Zajovic*.
The leading secularists and veteran women's rights campaigners will 
discuss Sharia, Religious Arbitration and Family Law, the Politics of 
Collusion, Gender Segregation, the Veil, Women's Bodily Autonomy and 
Secularism as a Defence of Women's and Minority Rights.
There will be a dance and public art protest in solidarity with the 
women’s movement against compulsory veiling in Iran and an evening 
awards ceremony to recognise women’s rights campaigners. For the first 
time in the UK, there will be a screening of 3 Second Divorce by Shazia 
Javed. The new film explores the impact of instant triple-talaq on 
Indian Muslim women through intimate stories as well as behind-the-scene 
glimpses at the struggle of activists fighting for a legal ban on this 
practice.
The conference aims to gather secular and egalitarian forces, highlight 
voices from the frontlines, and reaffirm the centrality of the 
universality of rights and the principle of secularism – the complete 
separation of religion from the state.
The conference, organised by *Maryam Namazie*, will mark the 10^th 
anniversary of the *One Law for All Campaign* for equality irrespective 
of background, beliefs and religions.
The Conference is sponsored by Bread and Roses TV; Center for Inquiry; 
Centre for Secular Space; Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain; Culture 
Project; European Network of Migrant Women; Equal Rights Now; Fitnah; 
Freedom from Religion Foundation; National Secular Society; One Law for 
All; Southall Black Sisters and Secularism is a Women’s Issue.
