We‘re dealing with a clearly feminist revolution. However, the upheaval is intersectional and multi-dimensional: „Women, young people, men, from across society – students, workers from various sectors, athletes and artists feel that it is time for change.“

„Women and girls in #Iran are not only the victims of a reactionary regime, which denies them the basic rights to a self-determined life in dignity. Women had to shoulder the effects of the years of sanctions & failed economic policy of the Iranian regime.“

The repression by the regime needs to stop — and it is our task to support the Iranian civil society: „Nobody can close the eyes in view of what is happening in Iran. Instead of simple answers, smart policies are needed to support the demands of the Iranian society for change.“
