The most peaceful resistance in contemporary Iran

None of the contemporary political systems (the Pahlavi system and the Islamic Republic system) recognized the individuality and self-determination of Iranian women. In an interview with a foreign journalist in the presence of Farah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi said that women in history have not even been successful in cooking. The embarrassed face of Farah Pahlavi as a woman at that moment embarrasses the audience because the humanity and dignity of women were ignored in those words.

On the one hand, the Pahlavi regime wanted to hide him in an authoritarian way, and on the other hand, the regime of the Islamic Republic wanted to hide him in an authoritarian way.

But a woman has human dignity and dignity and her choice is respected, whether she chooses to wear a veil or not to wear a veil. First of all, we should deeply respect the woman's choice. But none of the contemporary political systems respected the Iranian woman's choice, that is, her individuality and self-determination.

Since the year 1979, Iranian women have started resistance against ignoring their dignity, individuality, and choice, and continued this resistance for several decades, until finally, their resistance became universal with women, life, and freedom. It was the most peaceful, cool, and peaceful form of social resistance that I have come across.

I remember very well that I had a female student who said: She has been arrested three times by the Irshad patrol. I jokingly said: What's going on? Why are you bothering the brothers of Gesht Irshad?! He said: This is the defense of our human territory and this defense is necessary.

We live in a unique era: Iranian women are becoming a revolutionary subject. He is showing his historical agency in Iran. I have never seen anything like this in the entire history of Iran.

I congratulate the Iranian women and men defending women's rights on this great development!
