International solidarity with the struggles of women in Iran
.... ....................................
.... ....................................
After 28 years, the Iranian women's movement has brought many highs and lows behind him. Always the women's movement has drawn on international agreements to raise demands for "equal rights" and "abolition of discriminatory laws." Now the movement is entering a decisive phase. The struggles of progressive women in the establishment of cultural centers, in group activities and in organizing protest actions, such as the "1 million signatures campaign" and the campaign against stoning "bring new hopes.
The formulation of these discourses and advancing such social movements are by no doubt the claims associate "equality" and "freedom" with each other. Without doubt, we can say that today the women's movement, in parallel with other freedom-and justice-demanding society movements in the center of democratic struggles.
The women's movement in Iran, men and women has different ideas gathered around him to defend the demands for equality, and to carry out socio-cultural activities that provide all the dimensions of power in question. Because the sex ratio is a social, political and cultural commandment that all areas of life, from the private sphere comprises up to society. Therefore, the discussion leads with the women's movement to ensure that every member of society in all private, social and political problems, think critically. In today's Iran is "Badhejabi" [un-Islamic clothing] say one reason for the daily attacks by government forces against women, no to the ideological model of the Islamic order. At the same time justify the ruling of the attacks and stabilize the situation of those who spread fear and terror in society. The forced veiling of women, which is to be regarded as the manifestation of their tutelage, has now transformed into an instrument of oppression at all levels of society.
In reality, the situation of women as a mirror for society and feminism is a view that education on gender relations operates and thereby reveals the complicated power relations in different spheres of social life. The feminist thought and action can not be limited by the scope of a party or an organization. At the same time can not be denied that political rivalries and other group compete with each other here. When it comes to defending the women's movement, it is very important to take this into account.
are no doubt that the activities referred to the important tasks of the progressive Iranian women who are tested need. The positioning of individuals and groups in terms of freedom and equality and social justice for women will make the success of activities to the test.
We are a group of Iranian women in exile, fighting for years for improving the situation of women. We have come together under such dangerous conditions to take united action to support the demands for equal rights for women in Iran and will use our different political views back in this context. In these years, we have no to the "Islamic feminism" and have always said about the necessity of independent Struggle of the women talked to achieve equality and freedom.
Our common steps are based on the following minimum consensus:
1) The necessary and active defense of the women's movement in Iran on the basis of international human rights declarations and women's rights. We call for "equal rights" to remove all gender discrimination.
2) We firmly believe that restricting women's demands for freedom and equality, with no explanation and interpretation of ethnic, religious and national identities. Therefore, we believe that the "Islamic feminism" and the "Islamic human rights" the way to freedom and equality are not smooth.
3) We will work to ensure that the demands for "equality" with the demands for "freedom" link to arrange a wide women's movement, which combines with other democratic movements.
4) We fight together against the forced veiling, which is the manifestation of the domination of women and an instrument of gender-specific discrimination.
5) We assume that the continuation of repressive measures, the women's movement can bring to a low point. Since we are in exile, however, about the possibility freedom of expression have, we want to support while maintaining our diversity of opinion, the struggle of feminists in Iran.
With this call, we want to take in European cities in North America and various measures to actively support the women's movement in Iran. We call on all women who share our positions and recognize the dangers of the current situation to work with us.
