"Solidarity can be the best gift for Iranian men and women at this time in history." Iranian artist and women's rights activist Golazin Ardestani aka @gola_official grew up in Iran but now lives exiled in London and Los Angeles. We talked to her about the Iranian morality police, where she get's the strength to keep fighting and what each of us can do for change. "The journey of change is always a long one, no big change has been generated overnight. It starts with a vision that doesn’t exist and people thinking it is impossible; they discourage you, try to stop you along the way, and you might keep hitting big walls along the journey, but there is always a way to create a new path. You should stick to your vision, don’t give in, and use your rage in a positive way. It is a matter of time, but it will be done!" We have to speak out against violence against women much louder. Especially when it comes to situations in which women have to fear for their lives over the simplest things and actions. Like wearing their hair uncovered. Or sing in public when men are around. The right and freedom of having sovereignty over their own bodies and decisions. Things that are so normal for us, that we do not waste much thought on and the kind of freedom that we take for granted. But this freedom unfortunately doesn ́t exist for everyone. This is also a call to all of us! Please speak up! photography by @laetitiadumez Full interview on #cheadsmagazine #mahsaamini #opiran #freeiran
