Support women of Iran, by Noémie Cournoyer
For over 30 years, Iranian women are victims of religious fascism imposed by the fundamentalist mullahs in power in Tehran.
Laws misogynist (personal and family status), inhuman punishment (lashes for being "badly veiled", stoning to death for adultery ...) and all kinds of discrimination (social, professional, ..) are in force and practiced every day in the name of religion.
Our mothers, our sisters and our daughters have been relegated to the rank of second class citizens and suffer daily from the worst repression and deprivation because women! Their situation is worse since the arrival in power of the current President of the Republic of mullahs, an ultra-reactionary among others. Several women, including minors, were sentenced to death in recent months and await their fate on death row.
However, the daily struggle of Iranian women against injustice has never ceased, on the contrary, it has intensified every day despite the brutal agents of the mullahs. Last year, despite the official ban, they were several thousands to demonstrate with great courage in Tehran and other major cities in Iran to celebrate International Women's Day and to reclaim their legitimate rights and their freedom .
They need voices strong support, especially in the West where we have the "privilege" to discuss the shortcomings of existing laws on equality, parity and so on.
So encourage and support the events of oppressed women of this great country with a civilization of several thousand years.
Every voice, every statement, every release and every individual or collective approach. In our era of communication and information Iranian women hear, but also the authorities of the regime.
The victory and the emancipation of Iranian women will they not an additional boost to global movement of women?
