Why did Golshifteh Farahani’s coverage of 13 Badur become controversial?
What the West doesn’t see is that our Generation Z is very similar to yours: They post videos on TikTok, follow their celebrity idols on Instagram, love to sing and dance, and are generally happy. They seek spiritual meaning in a confusing world. And now they’ve had enough of living this double life—a life where they experience freedom only in the virtual world or behind closed doors, and young girls are being forced to cover their hair in public as if they live in the Middle Ages. Since the beginning of this revolution, I have wondered why many great Western feminists and defenders of women’s rights have stayed silent, apparently struggling to come out publicly to support our revolution. Having lived in the West for so long, I see how hard it must be for these feminists to understand the depth and historical importance of what is happening.
