Tibetan women marked the 30th anniversary of a silent protest at the 1995 UN Women's Conference, symbolizing suppressed voices under Chinese rule.
The Tibetan Women's Association commemorated the 30th anniversary of a silent protest during the 1995 UN World Conference on Women in Beijing, where nine Tibetan women stood in the rain with scarves over their mouths to symbolize suppressed voices under Chinese rule.
Held in Dharamshala, India, the event honored their act, seen as the first public demonstration by Tibetan exiles against Chinese governance on Chinese territory.
The women, the only Tibetans permitted to attend the conference, were protected by Western delegates due to Chinese surveillance and harassment.
Their protest gained international attention and is recognized as a pivotal moment in the struggle for Tibetan rights, with organizers highlighting ongoing advocacy for women’s rights and human rights in Tibet.
