started this petition to
President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan

t's hard to believe but, Amira Osman Hamed faces whipping if convicted at a trial which could come on September 19 for "uncovered hair".

She's prepared to be flogged to defend the right to leave her hair uncovered in defiance of a Taliban-like law.

We can force President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan to save this woman and change the law to spare other woman and girls this cruel fate. This is how we can end the War on Women and Girls – by standing up every time an outrage like this happens.

Let's build a million-strong petition to President al-Bashir by September 19 to save her and abolish this outrageous law. Sign now and share this with everyone to get us to a million
