On September 17th, protests has sparked in Iran following Mahsa/Zhina Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was killed in Tehran/Iran due to violating mandatory hijab in the so-called morality police custody.
She was beaten on the head while being transported to a detention center, she died after a brain hemorrhage and spent three days in a coma.
Following this incident, the people of Iran, specifically the women, who have been subjected to discrimination and violence for 43 years in the Islamic regime, are making a revolution with the slogan: woman, life, freedom.
But in these two months, the Islamic regime has killed more than 500 people and arrested 20 thousand people, and subjected them to the most severe tortures during peaceful protests, among which 50% of the dead are children between 8 and 18 years old.
Women’s rights activists are not allowed to work and are under the most severe security pressure in Iran. Women in Iran are deprived of their minimum rights and are considered as second-class citizens.
Mandatory hijab, not having the right to divorce and the right to custody of their children, not being allowed to travel and leave the country and get a passport, work and education without having permission from the husband, in contrast to the men right to polygamy are just a few of the obvious violence against women despite a lot of hidden ones.
Iranian women have been fighting against this violence for 43 years and many men has been standing with them, but the Islamic regime based in Iran represses the people with the most severe violence every time and passes stricter laws against women.
It is good to support Iranian women and think about them as free people who live in a free country on International Day for the elimination of Violence Against Women.
They are the bravest and proudest women in the world who fight against oppression and coercion for freedom and are in danger.
The end of Islamic regime in Iran is beneficial and peaceful not only for Iran but also for the whole world
Let’s do something for their freedom.
