This is the third time listening to this talk. Every time it unfolds new dimension of the most sophisticated struggle towards emancipation and freedom in Iran. Thanks for such insightful program.
Thank you Mr Jafarzadeh
Thank you Mr. Jafarzadeh for a very informative talk. As an Iranian American woman, I am proud of all those women heroes in my homeland who stood up to this brutal regime and never gave up. All the power to them.
Truly thoughtful angle on Iranian women's role in an on doing struggle for revolution.
Alireza, this is one of the best presentations of TEDK
Iran has a rich history of women’s activism and resilience in social, political, and cultural challenges. Iranian women have consistently fought for their rights, equality, and freedom despite legal restrictions and societal norms. Alireza, Title: Women’s Struggle for Freedom in Iran
Thanks, Alireza, for this informative talk
Realistic and clear words about women's rights are admirable
Well articulated the Iranian women leadership in the ongoing struggle for freedom.
Thank you so much Mr. Jafarzadeh for shedding light on the situation of women in Iran.
We are proud of the brave women of Iran who are fighting for freedom for the past 4 decades. So many beautiful souls have lost their lives to pursue human rights, dignity, justice, and freedom.
Indeed. Thank you for articulating the views of so many Iranians. Leadership of women in the Iranian resistance and particularly within the NCRI is a major guarantor of an equitable, humane and diverse future for Iran after the democratic overthrow of the current misogynist theocracy.
Heartbreaking words. But wonderfully delivered. 🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great talk by Mr Alireza Jafarzadeh on the 1979 revolution and the ongoing revolution. Also, his own personal experience-how joined the resistance for freedom-is very telling of many who are a part of the movement.
Mr. Jafarzadeh succinctly highlights a crucial truth: the Iranian people’s resistance is spearheaded by women. These resilient individuals, doubly repressed, serve as the driving force for change in Iran. Consequently, protest chants both within Iran and abroad now echo the powerful trio: ‘woman, resistance, freedom.’ 👏 ✌️ 🌟❤
As a journalist, I could not have said it any better magnificent presentation of true historical event that eventually will change the world
Much needed talk that points to the critical role of women in Iran and how the resistance movement is led and directed by women as the forces for change. All eloquently stated by Mr Jafarzadeh.
Thank you, Alireza for this inspiring and powerful message of the Iranian Resistance. It is notably important your highlighting of the leadership of women in the movement specially when presented and emphasized by men like yourself. Women, who despite facing severe and compounded oppression and violence enforced by the regime, continue to lead, and inspire the movement for change. Truly, their bravery and resilience are remarkable and inspiring to all of us. And their efforts not only aim to transform their own lives but also to create a more just and equitable society for all Iranians as well as delivering the much-needed peace throughout the region.
Alireza Jafarzadeh’s emphasis on international support and solidarity is crucial. It is heartwarming and encouraging to know that the freedom lovers of the world do in fact support the Iranian women and men and do stand by them in their struggle to achieve freedom from the mullahs’ despotic rule.
Over the last 40 years, women in Iran have played a pivotal role in resistance movements, demonstrating remarkable leadership and resilience. Thank you, Mr. Jafarzadeh for highlighting women's critical role in Iran's resistance movements and recent uprisings in Iran.
Thank you Mr. Jafarzadeh for bringing awareness and your devotion to freedom.
Thank you Mr.Alireza Jafar Zadeh for all tor talking because your talking is very reality of all issues about Iranian women
Excellent speech that provides hope, direction, and an example which demonstrates that equality is possible. Oftentimes, men are left out of this equation or simply blamed so it’s refreshing to hear this perspective. I look forward to the day that Iran will be free for all…no doubt through the efforts of brave men and women who sacrifice and blaze the path. Loved the inclusion of the personal anecdote, too.
Excellent history lesson of high quality, and the presentation was extremely informative. Thanks Mr. Jafarzadeh! Looking forward to see Mr. Jafarzadeh in the near future in your channel!

Thank you M. Jaffarzadeh for the passionate presentation.

This talk is fantastically informative.
Mr. jafarzadeh, very eloquently and in detail, explains the pivotal role of women leadership within a Resistance to the theocratic Iranian government which is committed to gender apartheid.
While globally, women hold only 23.3% of seats at boardrooms, Iranian women leading a Resistance gives us much hope for a brighter future.
Very informative! Highly recommended
Excellent talk! Iran will be free because there are people who truly believe in this statement:
“The liberation of women is a prerequisite to the liberation of men.”
Viva rajavi 🌹
"Congratulations to all the strong and resilient women who have fought for and continue to fight for freedom in all its forms! Your courage, determination, and perseverance are an inspiration to us all. May your struggles be recognized, your voices be heard, and your triumphs be celebrated. You are the true champions of change and the embodiment of hope for a brighter future. Keep shining, keep rising, and keep fitting for freedom!"✌️✌️✌️✌️

This is true definition of suppression of Iran's Ruling Mullah..Thanks to Mr Jaffarzadeh.
Thank you for the support!
The narrative deeply illuminates the cause of suffragette in Iran. Women's emancipation also emancipates men, and everything about man's history, accomplishments and ideas is rooted in his emancipation. Adding personal experiences and notations by Mr. Jafarzadeh is a nice touch. Thank you./:
Thank you Mr Jafarzadeh.great talk
Thank you Mr.Jafarzadeh! Excellent & informative talk
It’s completely true .the significant contribution of female mujahideen in influencing the resistance movement in Iran should not be overlooked!
Powerful words!
There were many real and interesting talks. They presented the reality on the table, women, an important segment of Iranian society, who have been oppressed and oppressed for years.
Very informative speech. Thank you Mr jafarzadeh
Mr Jafarzadeh , thank for your useful information and great speech
Great speech!
Thank you, it was very informative. 🙏🌹🙏
Kudos to the Iranian women. In an Islamic theocracy, it is doubly tough to endure the repressive regime if you are a woman!
درود بیکران بر شما آقای جعفر زاده گرامی
Thank you so very much for this informative speech. 🙏🗽🙏
A great talk explaining what happened in Iran when it fell and the role women have played in leading the fight for freedom in Iran at a great price! Wearing the Hijab incorrectly can get a woman killed, and it has.
Truly a brilliant topic and presentation!
Best lecturer
Thank you so much Alireza❤
Great talk by Mr Jafarzadeh. The only hope for Iran people is through its weman and the 10 point plan of Maryam Rajavi.
درود بر شما اقای علیرضا جعفر زاده با سخنان بسیار درست تان در مورد جنبش زنان
Wow, wow! Truly impressive. In my mind and heart, I pray for that day to come that no dictorship, neither in the form of mullah nor Shah, will have a chance to breathe and the true secularism dominate Iran's landscape. Thank you Mr. Jafarzadeh, so, impactful.
As the leader of the resistance movement of Iran, Ms.Maryam Rajavi said,"How does the decisive role of women guarantee democracy?
The democratic capacities in any government or alternative force may be viewed by women's active and equal participation in political leadership. Otherwise, limitations and obstacles that deny women their rightful political place will not only prevent women’s democratic rights but also work to damage the very foundations of democracy itself."
I can attest from my own experience as Iranian American man with the Iranian women that the active participation of women in leadership and the solutions they offer turn men into a force of change as well. This notion presents a disconnect from the mindset that arises from the world of exploitation. Men, who have become alienated from their true human essence due to the male-dominated culture, rediscover their human potential. This transformation, which should be regarded as a true awakening and a real cultural transformation, is the trigger for the eruption of hidden energies.
Undoubtedly, the day will come when a free Iran will reshape the future of the Middle East, ushering in peace and prosperity. Alireza Jafarzadeh has devoted his entire life to this cause.
Thank you and hope to see you in Azadi Square
Excellent speech 💚🤍❤️
