After 45 years of clerical rule under the Supreme Leadership in Iran, what direction will the role of Iranian women take in shaping the country’s political future—especially within the context of a shifting global and regional order?
In this episode of the HamAva Ravi podcast, political analysts Sahar Nasseri and Nazila Golestan are joined by Mansoureh Hosseini Yeganeh, author of The Oral History of Hijab, to discuss the role of women in managing the transition period toward a secular democracy in Iran.
On February 11, 1979, a revolution that began with the slogans “Independence, Freedom, Islamic Republic” brought an end to the monarchy and led to the rise of a religious regime. Now, 46 years later, Iran stands at a turning point—on the brink of profound and decisive changes within the emerging global and regional order.
This episode reflects on the current state of the Islamic Republic on the anniversary of the 1979 revolution, examines the demands of Iranian women from the Constitutional Revolution to today, assesses their achievements and setbacks, and outlines a roadmap for advancing the Woman, Life, Freedom movement toward a democracy grounded in secularism and human rights.
The HamAva podcast series is committed to fostering national dialogue around universal values: democracy, secular governance, human rights, and sexual equality.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.
