Ibtissam Lachgar
Ibtissam Lachgar is a Moroccan feminist activist known for her provocative stances on gender and religious issues. Recently, she garnered international attention after being detained for wearing a T-shirt with the slogan 'Allah is lesbian,' which sparked outrage in Morocco, a country where blasphemy laws are strictly enforced. Lachgar, who has previously organized events to promote women's rights, faces significant backlash for her outspoken views on Islam and gender equality. Her activism, often deemed hyper-progressive even in Western contexts, highlights the challenging dynamics between liberal and conservative forces in Moroccan society.
