#OurStoryIsOne

Please RSVP: on this Link https://forms.office.com/r/razhpyqnBF

On June 18th 1983, 10 Iranian Bahá’í women were executed for refusing to renounce their faith. Their story is part of the same story of women’s struggles for gender equality in Iran today. Iranian women have now joined the same path chosen by the 10 Baháí women 40 years ago: standing up for their beliefs and principles of justice and equality at any cost, even their lives.

Remembering these women can illuminate and reinforce conversations around justice and gender equality in Iran.

Together we can honour the 10 Baha’i women of Shiraz and all women across Iran who cherish the principle of equality of women and men, and who have contributed to the building of a better future for the country through their perseverance in the face of adversity and oppression.

************************************

The long struggle for gender equality has been lived by women of all faiths and backgrounds in Iran for many decades and continues to this day.

This event consists of music, presentations and speakers. It will be followed by afternoon tea.
