Woman Life Freedom – The Water Lily [Farsi]

Some days ago, we – @1stave.ba / @1stavemachine – received an email from an Iranian citizen asking for support and visibility in their attempt to fight the regime that has been oppressing them for many years. “Dear Sir/Madam, I am an Iranian that lives in Iran. We are fighting a tyrannical government that has been oppressing and killing us for 40 years. We’re not only fighting for democracy, we are still fighting for our women’s rights. Ten days ago, the government killed Mahsa Amini, a 22 years old girl because she was not wearing her hijab “properly”. Since then, most Iranians are protesting, unarmed, on the streets, against the government’s violent armed forces. Innocent people are being killed. Children are being murdered. A 25 year old boy wrote a song protesting the injustices the women of Iran suffered these last 40 years. Three days after releasing the song, he was jailed. This song has now converted into a symbol of resistance in Iran. The people of Iran need to know the whole world is standing behind them. They need hope. This war is not just ours.” We made this piece for anyone and everyone to use it and visibilize the situation. We want it to become as viral as possible. We want everyone to share it, to talk and comment on the piece.
