The Iranian Women’s Rights Movement with Yasmine Aker

  • Summary

  • Today we are sharing what is easily our favorite conversation, with the incredible activist, actress, and singer, Yasmine Aker. We have been following the uprising and protests in Iran since the murder of Mahasa Amini a little over a month prior to the airing of this episode. The Iranian women, youth, and LGBTQ+ community are risking their lives for a chance at the liberties and freedoms that we have today. The freedoms these courageous people are fighting for are similar in many ways to the freedoms currently attempting to be stripped from Americans.  To help amplify the voices of these incredibly brave women and because this is not either of our cultures, we are here to support Yasmine’s voice and the story of the Iranian Women’s Rights Movement that is happening right now.  To learn more about Yasmine, please visit her Instagram page @iamyasmi Here are some accounts on Instagram, people can follow and amplify: @middleEastmatters    @sarahrmni   @golFarahani   @ranarahimpour_bbc   @collectiveforblackiranians @from___iran   @1500tasvir      Due to Sanctions its not possible to send any funds to Iran, but here are some fundraisers working for progress in Iran:  This is the GoFundMe fundraiser seeking to accelerate and prolong global visibility and coverage through billboards/mainstream media outlets: www.gofundme.com/f/FreeIranCallForMedia    People can also donate to the Tor Project to help restore the internet in Iran: www.torproject.org  People can share their VPN with Snowflake -- https://snowflake.torproject.org/ or Tooseh app www.tooseh.org    List of resources and petitions:   https://freeirancalltoaction.com/  www.iranhumanrights.org Demand that the United Nations urgently create an international mechanism to hold the Iranian Authorities accountable 1-212-963-7160 Call the United Nations Women’s Department 1-646-781-4400 Send us your beauty questions and beauty baddie moments of the week to truebeautybrooklynpodcast@gmail.com.
