When we speak of power, the first thing that often comes to mind is loud voices, politicians, podiums, major decisions made in formal institutions.

That’s why, in this episode, diplomacy is viewed not from a state-level perspective, but through a citizen lens, not as a tool of governments, but as a skill that flows through society on a daily basis.What’s even more interesting is that Iranian women have played key roles in this space, roles that are rarely acknowledged or widely discussed.

The Ravi–HamAva podcast series is committed to fostering national dialogue around universal values: democracy, secular governance, human rights, sexual equality, and the protection of Iran’s territorial integrity.Within this framework, we believe we can move,through collective wisdom toward a free and dignified Iran for all Iranians, regardless of belief, opinion, sexuality, ethnicity, or background.
