222. "Through the Resistance I Can Be Their Voice" with guest Zolal Habibi
Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!
Resistance movements are happening all over the world. Some are in their infancy, and some have been in existence for decades. Case in point, Iran. Our guest this week, Zolal Habibi, joins us to talk about Iran's women's rights and human rights resistance movements. Her connection to the movement and her work to support it are incredibly interesting and powerful. We can learn so much from her story and the resistance at large.
As a human rights and women's rights advocate and member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Zolal Habibi works to amplify the voices of Iranians fighting for freedom and justice.
Her activism began as a teenager, shaped profoundly by the loss of her father - a celebrated Iranian writer - who was killed by the regime in 1988. Today, she engages with policymakers, journalists, and civil society leaders worldwide to expose human rights abuses in Iran and support the movement for a democratic, secular republic.
