RESULTS AND PROSPECTS OF THE WOMAN, LIFE, FREEDOM REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IN IRAN

 

Speaker:

Prof. TOURAJ ATABAKI

Senior Research Fellow at the International Institute of Social History and Professor Emeritus of Social History of the Middle East and Central Asia at Leiden University

Six months ago, with the government killing of Gina-Mahsa Amini, an uprising began in Iran with the motto of No to Compulsory Hijab. Within a few weeks and with remarkable speed, the uprising led to a revolutionary movement named Woman, Life, Freedom and called for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran. With its ups and downs, this revolutionary movement is now making the grounds for a full-fledged revolution in Iran.

By revisiting the criteria of this evolutionary movement and highlighting the historical resemblances with Iran’s immediate and distant past, this talk intends to look at the challenges facing this movement.

When: Friday, 10 March 2023, 12:00 – 13:00
