#SaveUyghurSisters Twitter Storm

The unique nature of the oppression against Uyghur women by the government of China due to their ethnicity and religion is exacerbated by their gendered vulnerability as women. Experiences of enslavement, torture, gender based violence, a system of organized rape, sexual slavery, forced marriage, mothers seperated from children, sterilization as well forced labor have impacted large swaths of the population.
