The world marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25.
Just the day before, the UN Human Rights Council held a Special Session that approved a resolution to form a fact-finding mission to investigate human rights violations in Iran. Virtually all delegates in this special session admired Iranian women’s courage in leading the protests and standing up to the brutal regime in Iran.
These are the days of unity and activism worldwide to end violence against women and girls by calling for global action to increase awareness, promote advocacy, and create opportunities for discussion on challenges and solutions.
In this episode, we want to increase awareness of the state-sponsored violence against women in Iran and the escalated brutal repression of women in the heat of protests that have been going on for 76 days.
