Zana Ramadani
Zana Ramadani (born January 10, 1984 in Skopje , Yugoslavia , now North Macedonia ) is a German author and former activist from Femen . She was chairman and co-founder of the association Femen Germany e. V.
Life
When she was seven, Ramadani moved with her family to Germany, where she grew up in Siegerland . In her - according to her own statements, liberal Muslim - family she experienced violence and oppression that emanated from her conservative mother. Ramadani's father was educated. At the age of 18 she fled to a women's shelter . In 2009 she married her partner, from whom they separated in 2014 after twelve years together. In the same year, the trained lawyer and notary assistant moved from Wilnsdorf-Wilden to Berlin due to work.
Act
Ramadani joined the Femen group and criticized what they believed to be patriarchal structures in Islam. She took part in panel discussions of the Central Council of Ex-Muslims .
Ramadani is a CDU member and was chairman of the Junge Union in Wilnsdorf . Her involvement with Femen sparked discussions there. She is no longer in the Junge Union. She left Femen in January 2015. The reason she cited was an action by former Femen member Mercedes Reichstein, during which Reichstein had posted a photo of the air raids on Dresden , with the slogan " Bomber Harris , do it again" on her bare breasts . Another reason she cited were “ gender feminists” who wanted to burn a German flag on the Holocaust memorial as a protest against FIFA .
Her book The Veiled Danger was published in 2017 by Europa Verlag in Munich and reached the Spiegel bestseller list .
Ramadani is a regular guest author on the Axis of Good .

On February 1, 2016, she positioned herself in an interview about the attacks on New Year's Eve 2015/2016 . She called for compulsory language courses and courses in civic education for refugees and criticized: "The fear of the accusation of racism, which is naturally raised every time, outweighs the fear of future developments."
