Women's organizations want to organize vigil in memory of Hajar: "I miss the outrage"
Women's rights organizations are planning a vigil and protest march in Amsterdam to honor 29-year-old Hajar, whose body was recently found in a suitcase. The organizers hope to address concerns regarding the limited public response to her death and advocate for increased safety for women in the city.
Two women's organizations, Rode Hakken and Saaam, are planning a vigil to honor the memory of 29-year-old Hajar, whose body was discovered in a suitcase near the Amsteldijk in Amsterdam. Organizers Yesim Candan and Fatimzahra Baba intend to lead a march from the Pijp neighborhood to the RAI, where Hajar was last seen on October 4. The exact date for the event has not yet been determined, as the organizers are coordinating with the victim's family to ensure maximum attendance.
Candan has publicly criticized the perceived lack of media and public attention surrounding Hajar's death, suggesting that her Moroccan background may be a factor in the quiet response compared to other potential cases. Beyond honoring Hajar, the vigil also serves as a protest demanding greater safety for women in the city. Meanwhile, police investigations remain ongoing as officials work to identify the circumstances of her death and locate an unidentified man seen with her before she vanished.
