Iran has always been the land of my dreams, the music, the history, the cinema, the culture and yet it is become the land of nightmares especially for women.
It's important for me to share this video because as a woman and as a feminist it has always made my blood boil that

anyone could tell you what to wear, could hide your beautiful hair from the sun
2 moments in this video are important, first the beginning is from No Land's Song the beautiful documentary by @saraanajafi and @AyatNajafi where we tried to organize the first female solo singers

concert since 1979 in Tehran because women do not have the right to sing by themselves on stage, the concert happened with hijabs and a man singer on stage, I stole however a few minutes for a solo freedom message to Iranian youth, that was back in 2013.

Then Holm/dream and old Iranian song brought me so many Iranian friends and I want to dedicate it today to Mahsa and all the Iranian women fighting everyday just to be, just to breath. Growing up it always felt like as girls we have to ask the right to exist on a daily basis,

we're always trying to steal an inch on the path of life to walk on...
The path is still narrow and it is awfully narrower for women in Iran and many more places.
Let Mahsa story and many others be not forgotten, you can kill one of us but 100 will stand up and 1000 and 10000

until we get our rights
The female power is strong and thirsty, the female revolution is on
Freedom or nothing ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
