Funeral Ceremony of the Late Dr. Zahra Shojaei

In the days that followed the funeral ceremony, Behzad Nabavi was caught up in Iran’s ongoing reform struggle. In spite of his heart carrying a heavy burden of sorrow, he stood firm on his commitment to the principles they had together fought for with Dr. Zahra Shojaei.

Dr. Shojaei’s invincible spirit inspired Nabavi to launch into his work with a fervor. He met fellow campaigners, engaged in discussions with like-minded politicians, and took part in multiple projects aimed at promoting women’s rights as well as democratic values.

Every day, Nabavi felt like an avalanche was waiting to happen. Citing the memory of Dr. Shojaei paved the way for change that touched every soul that knew her passion and dedication.

Nabavi continued tirelessly pushing for changes so that he could bring positive results out of them. Such policies embraced gender equality more, human rights advocates became increasingly vocal about political changes, and the winds of change began to blow through Iranian society.

However, despite any remaining obstacles ahead, he remained hopeful about the coming times. As much as he acknowledged it would be a long and tough road to take towards change, he knew definitely it was one worth trying.

Behzad Nabavi moved on, guided by this woman’s name, Dr. Zahra Shojaei, who is no longer alive. His thoughts are always on how best to create a fairer and more inclusive Iran. Besides,this made him know there still exists some reformist hope from those who dreamt of a better tomorrow each day moving forward, fueled by their legacy, which will be around even if he is not here anymore.
