CHAIRED by Baronness Christine Blower, Liberation’s International Women’s Day (IWD) rally heard from three panellists from Iran, India and Sudan, who delivered thought-provoking and moving addresses on the campaigns and struggles of women in their countries.
Azar Sepehr, representing the Democratic Organisation of Iranian Women, one of the oldest and established women’s organisations in Iran and the wider region, founded in 1943, spoke passionately about the popular unrest and street protests in Iran.
Sparked by the brutal killing of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of the so-called “morality police,” the protests have now been running for almost six months and, as in previous mass protests against the regime, the country’s women and girls are at the very forefront, Sepehr said.
