Woman Life Freedom - Zan Zendegi...

Anonymous Iranian Writer

This book uncovers the narratives of Iranians, mainly women, who lead Iran's fight for liberation. Their firm pursuit of justice compelled me to capture their extraordinary journey, transcending borders and beckoning worldwide attention. I remain anonymous, this choice isn't about seeking recognition; it's driven by necessity, stemming from threats to my family in Iran. This cloak of anonymity shields my dedication to truth, safeguarding my loved ones from imminent danger. In a world where oppression knows no boundaries, my cherished American freedoms bear a dual edge. Once a shield, the First Amendment now underscores the cost of dissent. Iran's influence reminds us that tyranny recognizes no borders. Remember the failed attempt on the life of Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad of Persian Voice of America, stands as a testament to this global impact. This work is more than a mere story; it's a heartfelt plea to the world, urging champions of freedom to unite. The persecution of Iran's writers, stifling of voices, and incarceration of activists reverberate as part of a systemic oppression that erodes our shared humanity. Look closer at the faces of individuals like Mahsa Amini and countless others who lost their lives, Nasrin Sotoudeh, an imprisoned Iranian Lawyer, and Narges Mohammadi, a relentless human rights activist. They symbolize a deeply rooted struggle. My words carry the weight of risk for my family, echoing the silenced voices within Iran. This extends beyond my family – countless lives sway under the influence of those in power. Remember, violations of human rights leave a stain on us all. Together, we must demand accountability and uphold our cherished values. My concealed identity isn't a withdrawal but an outstretching hand for unity, change, and justice. Join the chorus of defiance; only united can we liberate oppressed voices from their shackles. Stand firm against the darkness; our strength lies in unity.
