Why the World’s First Feminist Revolution is Happening in Iran

  • Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
  • A female revolution is underway in Iran. The mullahs are fighting back with brutal force. A year after it all began, women aren't giving up.
    On September 16, 2022, the death of Jina Mahsa Amini became the catalyst for an unprecedented revolt. Under the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom," people in Iran took to the streets demanding an overthrow of the regime. The state's response: violence. Mass demonstrations were met with force. But the women and their allies continued to resist in the face of violence and brutality. Many courageously took to the streets without hijab in a show of resistance.
    The oppression of women is the foundation on which the mullahs' power rests. Not only are women required to veil themselves. They are not allowed to sing, dance or ride a bicycle in public. In court, a woman's voice counts as half to a man's. Systematic state violence is also part of the oppression. Mass imprisonment, torture and rape in prisons.
    Time and again, women have fought back, there have been demos for change. But what is happening now eclipses all protests that have ever taken place in Iran. On this episode of Arts Unveiled, we explore the Woman, Life, Freedom movement and speak to the women who have put their lives on the line for this revolution.

      All very well, but a revolution against a regime of murderous sexual psychopaths can't rely on verbal protests. Women seem to not get that to revolt against killers involves putting bullets through their brains. The West should have assassinated the worst regime figures for the mutilation of Salman Rushdie. The fatwah was an act of war.

      But with just probably 100k out of 88 million and been declining since 6 months ago I doubt it would happen. Even the Media just stopped much reporting this only to come back for anniversary

    As an Iranian I vouch for the fact that we’re fighting for our women and their rights, but the reality is this counterrevolution is beyond Feminism. It’s about much more than that. We’re giving our blood to take back our nation state. Even if Islamic Republic consents to women’s rights (which is unlikely) we will not rest until the Iranian nation state is restored.

    My mother used to wear her hijab halfway. once we were coming from a hair salon, it was 30 years ago, I was 10. we were getting ready to go to a wedding, hence my mom got heavy makeup. From the salon to our home was few streets. while we were walking back from there a motorcylcle with two morality police came towards us and they asked my mom to cover her hair better first. then after a short private talk they asked my mother to go with them to their base to remove her makeup. we were now almost at our doorstep, my mom draged me after her towards the door and told them that she has to get permission from her husband to go anywhere and immidiatly opened the door and threw me and herself inside our yard and closed the door behind us. Then she peed herself from fear. Islamophobia is unreal and who claims it, is paid by Muslims to say so.

You became muslims by invasion by the arabs coming from the arabian peninsula. You were so christians that persians evangelized parts of china. Google the Chinese Christian stele. You were nestorian christians, Zoroastrians, and buddhists. Learn your history. see how the ossetians who speak an iranic language and they are christians. You know why? Because arabs did not arrived so far north to islamize them and the ossetians remained christians. You on the other hand submitted to islam which is imposed by invasion on you. How disgraceful is that? Let alone they made you darker with their arab mixing. The only way to become as you were is to denounce islam. Denounce your invaders.

I am a 67 years old Iranian woman and I was brought up in Tehran. Iranian women have always had power in the society, and unfortunately there are a lot of women who are both fundamentalist and do work for the Islamic regime, and have even high positions in the government! I know this is a contradiction, but it is sadly true!

    Hi DW🙂
    You are one of the first creators who came to mind on the topic of art+politics.
    I have a suggestion for a future video. Ukraine has become a new symbol of resistance and fight for democratic values. Other symbol for this is punk music (art in general). I’d love to see a bit about Ukraine’s punk music scene post-invasion. I promise you will be impressed. Like “Death Grips in church” impressed😀
    I am from Ukraine, if that matters

    I am white British and technically "Christian"??? In this country I have zero worries regarding Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Sikhs, Pagans, Christians, Daoists, Confucians etc etc etc. In fact seeing very imposing peaceful Sikhs in our society with their magnificent turbans and beards is, to me, something very positive.
    However like many of my countrymen (and other Europeans), I do have serious concerns about Muslims in our midst. You never hear of Hinduophobia, Sikhophobia, Buddhistophobia. Why do we have the term Islamophobia ???? There must be a reason for this. Can anyone out there enlighten me on this ??? I would appreciate a sensible explanation.
    😊👍

    • @KB-ih6gr

      You don't have to worry about Islamophobia, just always keep in mind, no matter what religions are, there's always criminals, it is just all about our mindset, think with an open-mind, using the sixth sense is important. If you think back, there are lots of western families took their wife/husband's life just for insurance if you watch a real-life movie and that's more creepy, imagine you choose to live your life for the rest your life with a person who you really love and to whom you're sharing your bed with but you don't have any idea that person would be the one would take your last breath.
      Not just that, while some committed fraud and etc. There's really no difference, so that's why the word, "manipulation" does exist itself, it is your brain and mind if you allow people to manipulate you. But at least you allow yourself to ask questions for a clarification, you have a far insight so far, that's a good point.😊

We have a few thousand years of civilization to support us.

    Yet, there are many Muslim women outside Iran insisting wearing Hijab and Abaya in non-Muslim countries. They say it's their total freedom to do so, and they assert they don't have freedom like their home countries. Bizzaire and inscrutable. They protest to have recognition by the wearing, while they have other ways to do so, such as education, training, and enlightenment to be a fully fledged hunan being. It applies to all men, too. What they want is freedom of expression, religion, and mobility. However, the extreme lack of discernment is never discussed in the West and the rest of the World. For the non-Muslims, the whole issue is oppressive and degrading. All we hope is they will not bring the domestic issues to the new haven. Civility.

      Thanks for watching. We appreciate different perspectives that lead to meaningful discussions and you are free to express your point of view. The respective circumstances you describe in France and Iran may not necessarily be suitable for comparison. However, what women in both countries desire is self-determination. They want to decide for themselves whether they want to wear the hijab or abaya or not.
      This is a sensible topic that should not be taken lightly. While irony can sometimes be a part of a lively exchange, we kindly request to maintain a certain level of respect. Thank you!

    Shah was not a dictator. Those who you (I mean west) and we(people of Iran)replaced him are true dictators. Now we know better, because now we are both better educated and experienced. Woman life freedom was a leftie project to reduce Iran's problems to Hijab. Our country is geologically dying and they remind us of a right that our Shah already gave women of Iran. We will remember DW for unjust remarks of our Shah. With a bunch of Iraqi Kurdish writers no better results are expected.

    Thanks for the interesting doc.one point I can say here is that In Persian, the slogan is woman(not women) life freedom and I don't know why it is translated "women" in other languages. The delicate difference is that "woman" may implies some kind of individuallity but women may implies some kind of collectivity!! Although it is not so impirtant here it may be bettter to be translated more accurate. To be honest I know it is not your fault but it is translated in all other languaes as far as I know. In addition, perhaps there is no differences and I have been too accuarate or obssessed about something tiny and not important
