Over a hundred women gathered in Manchester to look at the wider issues concerning the Gaza conflict.

The one day Conference was held In Longsight and attended by women from all backgrounds.

Special emphasis was made on the ‘ceasefire’ and the practical steps that could have prevented such atrocities. the conference also mapped out a future political set-up to ensure stability and peace for the region The women's chapter of the Islamic political party Hizb ut-Tahrir organised the conference in Longsight, Manchester opening a robust debate on the Gaza issue.

Shazia Rashid, a dentist by profession spoke in detail about the current Muslim leaders failures to respond to the calls of the Gazan people.

Arab regimes were more interested in organising conference after conference laden with plush settings and foods, spending days arguing over the text that could go on the ‘declaration’ to ‘condemn’ Israel rather than using military pressure to stop Israel in its advances.

Shazia Rashid spoke of the need to continue accounting these rulers by speaking out against their actions and injustices as an Islamic duty and a political path to generate global opinion for their removal and their replacement with a sincere leadership that protects the interests of the people and the region as a whole.

The second speaker, Sultanah Parvin, the Women's Deputy Media Representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain spoke in great detail on how an Islamic government would deal with a rogue state occupying territories illegally. She detailed the regional peace a Caliphate would offer to Jews, Christians and Muslims no different to the rich Muslim History which saw huge prosperity amongst communities in the very same region.
