Show Notes

In today’s episode, as the people in Iran are taking to the streets on the anniversary of the November 2019, we will focus on the goals and desires of the courageous women of Iran and the role they play in what’s indeed a Revolution. 

The answer to this question is very simple. The goal of these protests and this revolution can be summarized in one word, “freedom.” Something that the people of Iran and especially Iranian women, are deprived of. 

Indeed, the goal of the previous revolution in 1979 was also freedom, but Khomeini hijacked the leadership of that revolution and diverted its goal.

Actually, our people in Iran have a long history of over 120 years of struggle for freedom. And it seems that we’re finally getting there. 

The Iranian people rose up many times over the past years under the mullahs. In 1999, in 2009, in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Every time these upheavals were suppressed with massive crackdowns and utmost brutality. 

This time, however, the organized network of Resistance Units is at work with a new generation that’s incredibly brave, enlightened, and determined. As they chant in all their acts of protest, they want “freedom, freedom, freedom!”
