The Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir/ Wilayah Sudan organized its third monthly forum on Saturday, 18 Jumada I 1434 AH, corresponding to 30 March 2013, in its Media Office in Khartoum, titled: "Violence against Women Charter in the Islamic Perspective." Panel speakers included local and international newspaper writer Makkie Maghribi who is also the President of the Sudanese Organization for Press Freedoms, and Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Hussein member of the Media Office of Hizb ut-Tahrir/ Wilayah Sudan.

Makkie Maghribi said: "Salute to Hizb ut Tahrir, which teaches us self- respect, which respects entity through respect for the time, arrangement and careful preparation, have been and continue to be convictions that Hizb ut-Tahrir is always fixed on the right and on its principles, and seriousness which far outweigh the often serious regular forces. Armed forces use military force as their doctrine of discipline, whereas the driving force for Hizb ut-Tahrir is Aqeedah and thought. Fortunately today we are discussing the subject of man-made laws with the presence of Hizb ut-Tahrir who will critique these man-made systems."

Afterwards they continued with the panel discussion regarding the UN convention, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) which has generated worldwide coverage surrounding the meeting in New York and its implications on women, with many Muslim countries, including Sudan, Libya, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, and other countries. We ask: what are the concepts of justice and equality, and the controversy around it?

He noted that the document is a summary of the agreements that have been concerning women, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Beijing Platform for Action and General Recommendation No. 19 and the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women and Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development to other conferences.

The hall was filled with a number of politicians and journalists who participated with their input and comments.
