Cooperation between Women Movements necessary to expose Iranian regime
Political activist Farnaz Attia confirmed that women's protests in Eastern Kurdistan and Iran are a form of resistance to the ruling regime's anti-women policy.
A large number of women are exposed to murder and threats annually in Iran where many women are killed on the background of issues under the name of "honor and abiding by Islamic dress."
The recent decision by the Iranian authorities to execute activist Sherifa Mohammadi, and Kurdish women's rights activist and journalist Bakhshan Azizi, has angered women, activists and journalists who have denounced the decision and demanded its immediate abolishment.
Attia said that the Iranian regime is using Islamic law as a pretext to impose its authority over women.
Attia pointed out that the Iranian regime fears women's movements because they were the first to revolt against it following the killing of the young Kurdish woman, Jina Amini, by the so-called "morality police" in mid-September (2022), under the pretext of not abiding by the hijab rules.
Thousands of women are subjected to torture in Iranian prisons, but they have not given up their demands or surrendered to the Iranian regime.
"The will of women in Iran is a strong will, there is determination and resolve to get their rights from the Iranian regime, they did not give up their demands or surrender to the Iranian regime, especially Kurdish women in Eastern Kurdistan, despite the hard conditions" Attia added
Attia concluded by saying, "Therefore, what women are doing in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan is a kind of great challenge and a war against the unjust authority, and it will inevitably success one day."
She confirmed that the arrests of feminist activists and inhuman practices of the Iranian regime, all of these did not break the determination of women there.
Dr. Farnaz Attia called on women in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan to "continue their struggle for obtaining their rights and freedom from the oppressive power of the Iranian regime."
