Where does the slogan Woman, Life, Freedom come from?
Woman Life Freedom is a slogan derived from the Kurdish motto “Jen Jian Azadi”. Under this motto, all Iranians—regardless of race, religion, or gender—have united in their fight against the terrorist, conservative, and radical regime known as the “Islamic Republic” of Iran. It is believed that women were the first individuals to face suppression and oppression. Therefore, true freedom for everyone can only be achieved when women, who are the source of life, are free.
For more than 40 days, my life has been on a halt. I wake up with news of suppression, rape, and murder in Iran and go to sleep with them. My physical body may be overseas but I am actually living in Iran. I can’t stop sharing the courage of voiceless Iranians. I’ve been posting on Instagram and joining protests in Australia to support these brave individuals.
The Iranian Woman Life Freedom Movement
They say this is the first-ever women’s revolution in the world!
It all started with the death of a 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish girl who had left her city Saghez to visit family members in the capital city of Iran, Tehran.
There have always been protests against the radical and terrorist Islamic regime since they stole Iran 43 years ago but the death of “Mahsa Jina Amini” was the last straw.
The morality police of Tehran arrested Mahsa because of wearing her scarf(hejab) incorrectly, showing part of her hair. They took her to the detention centre and beat her up. She later passed away in the hospital.
The death of Mahsa was brutal and unnecessary, evoking memories of the regime’s executions and murders of innocent Iranians.
What are Iranians fighting for?
Iranians, both inside and outside of Iran, who were forced to flee the country due to the regime, all share the pain caused by the Islamic Republic This is a powerful movement by the Iranian people aimed at reclaiming their country from those who threaten not only Iran’s safety but also the security of the entire world. They are fighting for dignity, freedom of choice and changing the regime. As descendants of Cyrus the Great, who 2500 years ago created the human rights cylinder and united all Iranians to live together peacefully, they want to return to their roots.
The IR is killing men, women and children brutally, they suppress minorities because of their religion, race and sex. The savage regime in Iran is beating and killing Children as young as seven years old.
Why the world must act now?
This is not only Iran’s fight. The IR’s religious fundamentalists are living in the Western world including Australia freely and have key responsibilities and influence. They promote their dangerous ideology and threaten Australian democracy. It is time to demand the Australian government cut ties with IR and expel students and citizens affiliated with them. It is time to recognise the IRGC as a terrorist organisation and close its accounts in Australia. Be the voice of Iranians fighting for freedom single-handedly and saving lives by signing this petition on the Parliament House website.
Please watch Deepak Chopra and Zizek’s videos. They have explained the importance of this movement for the world.
