In the first part of this series, we examine four shocking deaths in Iranian schools: children who lost their lives within school walls under the pressures of fear, poverty, and punitive discipline.
In this episode, we discuss child suicides, deaths caused by teacher punishment, and the role of families that, instead of providing protection, become instruments of threat to control children at school.
This conversation analytically and emotionally explores the concept of structural violence: violence rooted in the lack of funding, absence of counselors, ideological pressure, and psychological repression, deeply embedded in the fabric of the Islamic Republic’s education system.
With the program’s expert, Ms. Saba Alaleh, a political-social psychoanalyst, we ask:
Are the deaths of these children accidents, or the product of a system built on fear, obedience, and silence?
The Raavi–Hamāva podcast series aims to expand the national discourse around universal values, democracy, the separation of religion and state, human rights, gender equality, and the protection of Iran’s territorial integrity.
Within such a framework, through collective wisdom, we can work toward a free and proud Iran for all Iranians, regardless of their beliefs, ideas, gender, or ethnicity.
