UnitedAgainstGenderApartheid: Amplifying the Voices of Women in Iran and Afghanistan

A Call to Action

The campaign calls on the public, international organizations, and Western politicians to listen to the testimonies of women from Iran and Afghanistan. It emphasizes the importance of standing in solidarity with these women and advocating for their rights. Using the hashtags #UnitedAgainstGenderApartheid in both native languages and English, the campaign encourages global participation to pressure the international community to act against this grave injustice.

Testimonies from the Frontlines

Listening to the testimonies of women from Iran and Afghanistan is crucial in understanding the depth of the oppression they face. These stories paint a vivid picture of life under gender apartheid—stories of courage, resilience, and an unwavering demand for justice. These testimonies serve as powerful reminders of why global action is necessary and urgent.

Meeting in the Parliament of Norway

Today, activists from Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and Gaza gathered in the Parliament of Norway to discuss the pervasive influence of the Islamic Republic on unrest in the Middle East and beyond. The consensus was clear: the Islamic Republic’s oppressive policies are a root cause of many regional and even global conflicts. Highlighting the importance of addressing these issues directly, we stressed that burying the news of Iran among other international stories is a significant mistake. The Islamic Republic’s actions have far-reaching implications, making it essential to keep a focused spotlight on their influence and abuses.
