Iran's women say they are prepared for the long fight to ensure their personal freedoms.

I just hope that the extremists don't hijack the movement and push for armed uprising.

Something that would make the mad hardliners very happy.

Women are driving the largest anti-government protest movement Iran has seen in decades. They are risking their lives to demand basic freedoms.
...
In Iran, Sharia-based laws regulate how women can dress and behave. Fathers and husbands make many of the important decisions in a woman's life. There is also widespread and systemic gender discrimination.

In the 2022 World Economic Forum's (WEF) "Gender Gap Report

,>" the country ranks 143 out of 146 in an international comparison of gender equality indicators.

More than anything, the lack of women's political participation plays an important role in Iran's poor ranking. Germany, for example, moved up one spot to 10 in the latest report because of the growing participation of women in politics.

Joint letter by 5 former European foreign ministers today in LeMonde_EN "We see no alternative but to acknowledge that #Israel’s policies & practices against the #Palestinians living in the #WestBank, East #Jerusalem & #Gaza amount to the crime of #apartheid"

As the world is watching in horror events unfolding in Ukraine, conversation around the urgency of protecting a rules-based global order is dominating political and public discourse. The international community has rallied behind multilateralism and the need to adhere to international law and protect human rights. Indeed, it is the only way forward in an increasingly polarized global landscape.

At the same time, we are reminded how the international community has too often remained silent and failed to act in the face of grave violations of international law and impunity for serious abuses in other contexts. Safeguarding the international legal order means applying principles uniformly and consistently.

The same standards and commitment to protecting Ukrainian civilian population and demanding accountability for Russia’s international law violations should be applied globally, including to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
