Women in Iran
In light of the ongoing protests and election turmoil in Iran, I found this interview with an Iranian women’s rights activist to give a helpful voice to the real people involved there – “Iranian feminist dissident hopes protests will succeed and stay peaceful.”
To her this isn’t about overthrowing a regime, but a call for serious reform that focuses on human rights. People want to stop the abuse of women on the streets by government guards. Women want to live a normal life. For them, it is not just an election, but basic human dignity that is at stake here.
