Rabia Musavi is set to deliver a speech on March 8, International Women's Day, while donning a hijab, highlighting her belief that women should have the autonomy to decide how they wear their clothing. This year’s primary message for the demonstrations focuses on racism, particularly in light of the murder of Tamima Nibras Juhar, prompting calls for active anti-racism and national action against hate and violence. Musavi asserts the importance of women dictating their own choices regarding clothing, emphasizing that being forced to remove her hijab by men is just as unacceptable as being forced to wear it.

Musavi, who grew up in Oslo with Pakistani and Afghan parents, leads the LIN organization, which promotes equality, inclusion, and networking. She and her colleagues have crafted this year’s main slogan for the March 8 march: "Say her name - Tamima. No more lives lost to Muslim hate and racism." This phrase draws attention to the tragic death of Tamima Nibras Juhar, who was murdered while at work in Oslo last August, representing a somber reminder of the impact of hate crimes against marginalized groups.

The discourse surrounding Musavi's message contributes to larger discussions about women's rights and the challenges they face, particularly in dealing with societal expectations and prejudices. With under seven months since Juhar’s death, the community feels an urgent need for action and solidarity against racism, indicating that this issue remains relevant and pressing in the current social climate in Norway.
