Switzerland Bolognano Exhibition on Sahrawi Women's Fight
The "Our Tent – Jaimitna: Nuestra Jaim" workshop in the Swiss city of Lugano focused on the struggle of Sahrawi women in defending their people's rights, including self-determination and cultural identity, as part of the 13th edition of the Lugano Festival for Films and Human Rights. The exhibition features photos and stories of 19 Sahrawi women from the occupied territories, highlighting their experiences in documenting violations, fighting against repression of political prisoners, and resisting occupation. Emphasis is placed on symbols such as the tent and the Sahrawi melhfa (traditional cloak), which represent belonging and collective memory. The opening was attended by international representatives who underscored the importance of highlighting Sahrawi women's role in the struggle. They also warned of ongoing human rights violations, called for the release of detainees—especially the group of Gdeim Izik prisoners—and emphasized the need for justice and international respect for the rights of the Sahrawi people.
