Woman Life Freedom: Iranian Activists Speak Out
Listen now
Description
In September 2022, a young woman named Mahsa Amini died in the custody of Iran’s “morality” police. Her death sparked nationwide protests across Iran, what many have called a revolution — a revolution led by women demanding their basic rights. Today, I’m in conversation with two of those women. Mahsa, also known as @Moonitor, and Elnaz Sarbar Boczek, are two courageous Iranian women who have been using their platforms to speak about women’s rights and human rights abuses in their country. Follow Mahsa and Elnaz on Twitter @Moonitor & @Elishkaa
