Thiruvananthapuram: Eminent Malayalam writer Sara Joseph on Sunday called for a boycott of certain American corporate products, alleging that they indirectly support the United States’ war efforts against other countries.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Joseph urged women to register their protest against the policies of the United States and Israel by rejecting products manufactured by major American companies.
However, the writer did not specify the alleged attacks on Iran by these countries.
In a Facebook post, Joseph referred to several well-known brands of everyday products such as toothpaste, shampoos and detergents.
“These are large American corporate institutions that provide huge financial support required for manufacturing the United States’ warplanes, weapons and missiles,” she wrote.
Describing the move as a “silent revolution”, Joseph said women could begin the protest from their kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms by avoiding such products and encouraging others to do the same.
“If each woman begins this resistance from her home, it will not remain small,” she said while extending greetings on International Women’s Day.
