#masha amini

These are Iranian journalists Niloofar Hamedi & Elaheh Mohamadi, the reporters who 1st broke Masha Amini story a year ago. They are now on trial & facing death penalty by mullah regime in Iran for covering Masha's killing.

The daughter of Minoo Majidi--a mother of two who was killed by the Iranian regime while protesting for #MahsaAmini--stands at her mother's gravesite. She is defiantly unveiled, and in her left hand she holds the hair she cut from her head.

Masha Amini's death was a tragedy that absolutely did not have to happen. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, who just had their child's life taken away.

She was only 22. That's soo young. She was arrested because she was a woman, and society has rules about what a woman should look and act like. And that is true for every country, not just Iran.

I'll ask any non-Muslim ppl from the West to take a second and leave their thoughts about veils aside. Especially women. Feminism takes different forms in different cultures because even though women are oppressed all over the world. Different cultures have different rules for them. In Iran women cut their hair and burn their veils because a woman was murdered by police, for wearing her veil incorrectly.

In the west women experience violence for liking women, for not dressing feminine or for wearing revealing clothes. Or, for wearing veils.

It's not about the hijab, it's about oppression. Please, find it in your heart to support the women of Iran and do so, as people who've experienced and understand oppression. Do. Not. Think like "let's ban hijabs all together", all you're doing is telling women from another culture HOW TO DRESS. Which is the whole fucking issue.

Feminism should be about support. Support Mahsa Amini's story by talking about it, by sharing it, by being LOUD. Every step we take together matters because it affects everyone.

A poem about how it feels to have the world burning around you as a teenager while having empathy and seemingly no power and also feeling guilty about it.

Everything around me is dying,

Burning in agony, screeching in pain,

Fingernails of empathy tear my skin apart, as I watch burning scarves on TikTok.

Hands of black and blue tearing at me through and through. Reaching up from air vents to pull us down to hell while above earth, with every hoarse voice the screeching swells. The air saturated with the stench of fear as others shut their eyes and stuff their ears to then ask;

“Why do you even care?

It’s not affecting you.”

Your right I can sit here in my home shut the windows and ignore the storm-

The storm that’s banging at our doors crashing through windows and tearing up our floors, I would love to look away for the sake of my happiness; I could just obey.

Utter no word, not one, of protest.

But what would I be? What would I be? If I did that I’d have no empathy, Id’ve lost my humanity, I’d be a cold cruel stone, to sit here though the storm while others stand on plains of asphalt stone,

Shelter less.

Battered and bruised, defenslessly, voulnerable to every wind, thunder, storm.

While I sit here being warm.

Do you not feel the guilt? Does it not rip you apart from the insides?

Even if you stuffed your ears i don’t believe you overhear the screams, screams soaked with agony.

You’d have to gauge your eyes out to overlook all of this.

I can’t believe it; hah.

You’re willingly ignoring us.

Them.

Me.

Yourself; your own conscience.

You’re unbelievable. You make want to vomit until I can’t breathe, until I die.

At least then I won’t hear the cries.

Because I feel them in my bones, they shatter me, they scratch my skin till I bleed,

I feel helpless in their agony.

You are the exact opposite. You have the power I so desire but, you, don’t, do, anything.

And so it continues.

We’re not allowed to control our bodies

We’re no allowed to be assertive

We're aren’t allowed to have a  opinion or we’ll be called bitchy

The government controls our reproductive systems

The governments can control whether to kill us just because we 

Aren’t following “dress code”

Women will never feel safe 

When we still have this mentality so 

Give support  for the protesters in Iran

Justice for Masha Amini

Justice for Nika Shakarami

Justice for all the people who have died, and fought against the oppression of people and women

Cruelty should not be excepted.
