“The “Women, Life, Freedom” movement that has taken hold in Iran in recent weeks is revolutionary, but these acts of defiance and cries to be heard are not new. Young Iranian women have been involved in small but consistent evolutionary actions during the entire 44 years of the Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly in the past two decades, too often paying the price with their lives. Fighting for gender equality is everyone’s job, to enhance awareness and bring about change. There can be no democracy without first respecting women’s rights and restoring their dignity and freedom. Let the Regime know the whole world is watching them.” - Venus & Stefania 👯‍♀️💚 ❤️ #nikashakarami #womanlifefreedom #mahsaamini
