”This is why

I don’t leave the house

you say the coast is is clear

but your won’t catch me out.”

even though Paramore probably meant something different through these lyrics. As a non-Iranian person it helps me actually understand what’s going on Iran right now and how for Iranian women the cost is never clear.

More than 20,000 Iranian Girls under 15 Got Married over Nine-Months

Statistics from Iran show that over 20,000 girls under the age of 15 were married off from the period of (about?) April/May-ish 2022 to January 2023. Aside from the obviously disturbing fact that this is in effect legalized rape of children, I have to wonder how many of these poor young girls will be subjected to a suffocating environment where they will suffer from all kinds of abuse.

In this post, I discussed the tragic story of Mona Heydari, who is an example of a child bride being married off to an abusive husband. Mona was married at 12 and became a mother at 14. She ran away from her abusive husband a few years later and ultimately was brought back to Iran... only to be beheaded at the age of 17 by her husband (presumably as punishment?). The kicker is that the perpetrators of these "honor killings" often do not receive the severe sentence they deserve (i.e., sentences that are typically handed down to murderers). In fact, in Mona's case, her parents, who had signed HER death sentence at age 12, apparently pardoned her husband and, thus, the already short sentence was further reduced to a mere 8 year prison term.

And you know, I cannot help but worry about how many of these 20,000+ new child brides will meet Mona's tragic fate several years down the line. (I obviously hope this isn't the case.) But then again, this is to be expected of a regime that sexualizes girls before they even reach puberty and clearly regards them as objects.

Now these are beautiful colored hairs that have come out from under the black scarves after forty years and have colored the atmosphere of the city, a city that was saddened by Khamenei's government, but he did not imagine that one day these beautiful hairs will sprout again from under the scarves and freedom return to the city..

this absolutely horrifying

This is Bita Kiani. She is 7 years old and was shot in the eye by the Islamic Republic forces using pellet guns while playing on the balcony of her house in Malekshahr, Isfahan. 

Islamic Republic forces regularly shoot at balconies using pellet guns, top stop people from chanting from the rooftops.

Keep fighting

Two young Iranian were executed just for standing for freedom and for women

they’re names are

Seyed Mohammad Hosseini

and

Mohammad mehdi karami

Then two other innocent men have been sentenced to death

Mohammad boroghani

Mohammad ghobadloo

the same thing could happen to these peoe as what happened to Seyed Mohammad Hosseini and Mohammad mehdi karami. I know with tiny post it won’t make an impact but if I could just speak out about the atrocities going in irans maybe someone will listen. I’m scared for people in Iran and what’s gonna happen next . We must not stop advocating please don’t stop this serious. Do something anything reblog,post your opinion, etc. but please don’t scroll pas after reading this disregarding this cause we need to advocate and shout as loud as we can now
