“Do Not Be Afraid” is One Word in Farsi
“Of all the players in what has become Iran’s bloodiest uprising in 30
years, few have captured the world’s attention like the Iranian women
have. It began with Zahra Rahnavard, the wife of presidential candidate
Mir Hussein Mousavi.”

Women at forefront of Iranian protests
“A woman named Neda has become an icon of the ongoing antigovernment protests in Iran.
Millions of people in Iran and throughout the world have now seen a
graphic amateur video of Neda’s apparent death on a street in central
Tehran, after having been shot in the chest while attending one of the
rallies with her father.”

Women in Action: Iran's Second Wave?
“I've been following the situation in Iran over that past couple weeks
as I write about it for FMF's Feminist Newswire. For me one of the most
intriguing aspects of the pre- and post- election politics is the
incredible importance of the women's rights movement. This aspect of
the situation is not readily evident in most media coverage of the
turmoil, but our FMF Global Programs Coordinator, Anushay Hossain, has
kept me up to date with news reports that show how women are shaping
the political landscape of Iran.”

Iran and Women’s Rights
‘Janet Afary, a professor of Middle East and women’s studies at Purdue
University and the author of “Sexual Politics in Modern Iran,” says the
country is moving inexorably toward a “sexual revolution.”
“The laws have denied women many basic rights in marriage and divorce,”
she wrote in the book. “But they have also contributed to numerous
state initiatives promoting literacy, health and infrastructural
improvements that benefited the urban and rural poor.”

Video From a Woman in Iran Before Saturday’s Resistance
“For those unaware, I’m an Iranian. I was brought to the U.S. at the
age of three and have gone back only a handful of times to Tehran, most
recently in 2007. I’ve attempted to go in-depth with my thoughts and
feelings over the last couple of weeks on the “Green Wave”, but it’s
been pretty hard to write about and information is difficult to come
by. I will soon, but for now, I want to share a video that brought me
to tears today.

The women rights defender and lawyer Shadi Sadr still in the prison
“Iran Human Rights, July 19: "Shadi Sadr is not going to be released
soon" said judge Rasekh, according to the women’s rights website
"Meydaan".
Ms. Sadr’s family were earlier today told that she could be released on
bail. But after having been at Tehran’s revolutionary court and later
outside the Evin prison, they were told by the judge (Rasekh) that
Shadi Sadr is not going to be released today. When they asked whether
she is going to be released on Tuesday? they were told " She is not
going to be released".
