Until We’re Free
We have to learn so much about the brave women who stood upto the Islamic revolution in Iran. Farrokhroo Parsa was the first woman cabinet minister in Iran’s history. After the 1979 Islamic Revolution, she was arrested by the new regime. In the spring of 1980 she was executed.
Her charges were, she was “spreading corruption on earth and denying Allah” – opposing Islamic principles.
“I would rather face death with open arms than live in disgrace, forcibly covered with a veil. I will not kneel before those who expect me to repent for half a century of my struggle for equality between men and women. I am not prepared to wear the chador and take a step backward in history,”
She wrote in her farewell statement. Its heavily attributed in Persian exile publications and Women’s rights advocacy materials.
