Oppression of women in Iran and the necessity of an intersectional feminist approach

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:20:02 GMT

This September, we commemorated the anniversary of a tragic event – the untimely passing of Mahsa Amini, a young woman whose life was brutally taken by the Iranian regime. Her heart-wrenching death ignited a wave of protests that swept across Iran, highlighting the deep-seated issues of gender inequality and the oppressive policies of the autocratic government – writes Turkan Bozkurt. Mahsa's life was cut short while she was in police custody, a stark reminder of the injustices faced by women, particularly in cases related to the hijab. Her story transcended borders, resonating with people worldwide and triggering a resounding global call for justice and a renewed commitment to the fundamental principles of human rights.Indeed, the protests and activism in Iran may not have resulted in a complete overthrow of the government, but they have undeniably illuminated a profound yearning for change within the country. These demonstrations have exposed a significant divergence between ...

Russian aggression and the rise of the extreme right have instigated crucial responses from both the EU and NATO. The resemblance with the end of the Cold War is two-folded.In the first place, Brussels has to face a situation of expansion. Countries in the East face serious existential threat from Russia. Both the EU and NATO are enlarging. More countries want to join these organizations, mainly for external security reasons. The juxtaposition of East and West has become unsurmountable.Furthermore, enlargement shifts the ...
