Rest in Power, dear Dolores Huerta!
How powertully you put it:
"I have never identified myself as a victim, but I now understand that I am a survivor—of violence, of sexual abuse, of domineering men who saw me, and other women, as property, or things to control."
Your words retlect the courage it takes to reclaim one's story, name the harm, and rise beyond it. May your voice, resilience, and lifelong struggle for justice continue to inspire generations.
روحت سرشار از قدرت و نامت جاودان، دولورس
هوئرتاى عزيز!
جه نيرومند و تأثير كذار بيان كرديد:
«من هركز خودم را قربانى ندانستهام، اما اكنون درك مى كنم كه من بازماندمى survival خشونت ( زنى كه خشونت را تاب آورده و از آن جان به در برده) ، آزار جنسى وسلطه جويى مردانى كه من وديكَر زنان را ملك خود يا جيزى براى كنترل كردن مى پنداشتند.» سخنان شما بازتاب شجاعتى است كه براى
بازپس كَرفتن روايت زندكَى خويش، به رسميت شناختن آسيبها و برخاستن از دل رنج لازم است. باشد كه صداى شما، تاب آورتان و مبارزهى پيوستهتان براى عدالت، همجنان الهام بخش نسل هاى آينده باشد.

In the 57th TV program of “ Dayereh,” presented by the Iranian Women’s Circle for International Cooperation ( ), from the Ayeneh Foundation Studio, we dedicated the program to a conversation about RIP Shahrnush Parsipur, one of Iran’s most prominent and widely read novelists.
https://youtu.be/EWxL9nH3Exo?is=7RhaP8y7FReGYO0B
In this program, we speak with three distinguished women:
- Marjan Mohtashami, writer and cultural activist
- Anna Farzindar, PhD and professor of computer science
- Fataneh Farahani, PhD and professor of anthropology in Stockholm
who have each encountered Shahrnush Parsipur’s work, ideas, and literary world from their own distinctive and rich perspectives, offering different reflections on her life and literary legacy.
There is no doubt that Shahrnush Parsipur’s literary legacy, her steadfast commitment to freedom of expression, and the profound influence she had on generations of readers and writers will continue to inspire many far beyond the borders of Iran and among generations to come. This interview is in Persian.

بی‌تردید، میراث ادبی شهرنوش پارسی‌پور، تعهد استوار او به آزادی بیان، و تأثیر عمیقی که بر نسل‌های متعدد خوانندگان و نویسندگان گذاشت، همچنان الهام‌بخش بسیاری خواهد بود؛ فراتر از مرزهای ایران و در میان نسل‌های آینده.

Women’s Equality Day, observed annually on August 26, commemorates the hard-won struggle that led to the 19th Amendment and women’s right to vote. Yet more than a century later, equality remains unfinished. Women continue to face gender-based violence, with nearly three women killed each day by an intimate partner; sexual violence, including the persistent backlog of hundreds of thousands of r**e kits; economic inequality, with women particularly Black and Latina women still experiencing substantial wage gaps; and growing restrictions on reproductive freedom, including near-total abortion bans in 13 states. Domestic violence remains a leading cause of homelessness among women, while barriers to voting and political participation threaten the very rights for which earlier generations fought. The United States has also yet to secure the Equal Rights Amendment as an enforceable constitutional guarantee and remains one of the few countries that has not ratified CEDAW. Women’s Equality Day is therefore not only a celebration of past achievements but a reminder that the struggle for full equality continues and that we keep moving forward, together, toward a future in which equality, dignity, safety, and freedom are realities for all women and girls.

Please join us in Los Angeles as we gather to celebrate the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of Shahrnush Parsipur. It will be an afternoon of remembrance, reflection, and appreciation for her remarkable contributions to literature, freedom of expression, and women’s voices.
ICWIN is honored to serve as a co-sponsor of this special event, and we warmly invite you to join us in paying tribute to one of the most influential literary figures of our time.

Italy just gave femicide its own place in criminal law.

The new crime covers gender-based killings driven by hatred, control, domination or a woman’s decision to leave or reject a relationship. Anyone convicted can receive life in prison.

Supporters call the law a powerful message that violence used to control women will face the toughest punishment. Critics argue that harsher sentences come too late and must be joined by prevention, education and stronger support before another woman dies.

No to Death Penalty - It was a great opportunity to interview Mila Mosafer from Berlin for ICWIN program, Dayereh on the alarming rise in the use of the death penalty in Iran amid the devastating war, a trend that continues unabated.
Since January 1, 2026, at least 746 executions have been carried out in Iran, including 52 executions since the beginning of June alone.
The Islamic Republic has accelerated executions, including politically motivated cases, under the cover of war and in response to the nationwide protests of January 2026. The growing use of capital punishment has raised serious concerns among human rights advocates, who warn that executions are increasingly being used as a tool of repression and intimidation during a time of profound national crisis.

فرصت ارزشمندی بود که با میلا مسافر٫ از برلین در برنامه دایره ICWIN در تلویزیون ایینه درباره افزایش نگران‌کننده اجرای مجازات اعدام در ایران در بحبوحه جنگ ویرانگر گفت‌وگویی داشته باشم؛ روند اعدام ها پکه همچنان بی‌وقفه ادامه دارد.
از اول ژانویه ۲۰۲۶ تاکنون، دست‌کم ۷۴۶ نفر در ایران اعدام شده‌اند که از این میان، ۵۲ مورد تنها از آغاز ماه ژوئن به اجرا درآمده است.
جمهوری اسلامی با بهره‌گیری از فضای جنگ و در واکنش به اعتراضات سراسری دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ (ژانویه ۲۰۲۶)، روند اجرای احکام اعدام، از جمله در پرونده‌های دارای انگیزه‌های سیاسی، را شتاب بخشیده است. افزایش فزاینده استفاده از مجازات مرگ، نگرانی‌های جدی مدافعان حقوق بشر را برانگیخته است. آنان هشدار می‌دهند که اعدام‌ها بیش از پیش به ابزاری برای سرکوب، ایجاد هراس و خاموش کردن صدای مخالفان در بحبوحه یکی از عمیق‌ترین بحران‌های ملی کشور تبدیل شده‌اند.
