Interview With United4Mahsa

Jina Mahsa Amini - An Iranian Revolution led By Women: Haleh & Sahar

Hello and Welcome back to the Ebby Online podcast.

This week I spoke to Haleh and Sahar from United4Mahsa an organisation that has been helping to raise voices in Iran during the ongoing revolution.

The uprising kicked off after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September at the hands of Iran's morality police.

Many women have been burning their hijabs and cutting their hair to protest against Iran's brutal regime and the morality police who have been enforcing it.

In this podcast, Sahar shares her personal story about being captured by the morality police in Tehran, Iran's capital city.

We also discuss violence against women and regime control via state-run media outlets and social media silencing/internet blackouts.

Sahar and Haleh speak about the many women that have been raped beaten and killed at the hands of the morality police.

And the imbalance of rights for women has reached a fever pitch and has sparked widespread protests across the country, as men women, and children have been doing what they can to speak out against the regime under Ebrahim Raisi.

Sahar and Haleh informed me about how people back in their home country have been using loopholes on social media to share messages about what has been happening on the ground.

Many women and girls, as well as men, have been risking their lives in order to protest against the strict regime.

In recent weeks I noticed that protests have been taking place across the world, but that there had still not been as much news coverage by media outlets globally.

Many women and girls, as well as men, have been risking their lives in order to protest against the strict regime.

It's not just a women's rights issue it's also about human rights.

Thank you for listening!
