women using social media to help change the world. today must see allen is up challenges the job rules in iran. there's a dainty war in iran about my lifestyle. they have guns and bullets we have facebook treats her instagram and our social media they cannot keep those people silent that's something that i never knew hope. it's a punishable crime to be unveiled in public according to the laws sharia laws in iran you get lashes you get jailed and fined but more important than this you won't be allowed to get an education from the age of 7 if you take off your headscarf you won't be allowed to get a job. you won't be allowed to live in your own country.

was. this breakdown and i am going to come to a young child before i was played i'm getting asked that. can. be.

my campaign was born from a simple picture. there was a picture of me rolling in a beauty food street in london it was a spring may the trees were full of blossoms and i wrote a caption on my picture that every time when i wrong in a free country and i feel the wind through my hair it just reminds me of the time when my hair was like a hostage in the hands of iranian government. i also women whether they want to share their pictures with me so the moment of freedom with me i was bombarded by pictures from women inside iran being unveiled.

so i created my stealthy freedom page on facebook bush now has more than a 1000000 followers on more than a 1000000 followers and it's all about freedom it's all about dignity it's all about choice. i graunt. which is close to see. our kitchen in the village are designed for women it's shorter because women are shorter than men so. i remember i used to say to my brother i know this is

short for you but there is a church said 1000 and wash the dishes so that shows that i started my feminist movements my feminist revolution from my kitchen. that is important for women we have to start. being a rebel. in our house. in our village we didn't have toilets in our house we had outhouse. and in the darkness we have to go out. my mother used to say that the darkness is a monster a shapeless black demon that feeds on your fear. if you're scared of it then the shadow grows bigger and it will invalid swallow you whole. open your eyes white as white as possible when i was a young girl stare into the darkness and the shadows will disappear never be afraid

of the darkness but stay down 2. my mother never had the chance to go to school university never she's not even able to read and write but to me she's that true feminist. my father has stopped talking to me he doesn't support me the things that i'm against islam i mean against my own country and the chiang mai country but i think these are all happening just because you know the the governor really brainwashed like people like my father otherwise my father loves me. when i was a student i got kicked out from high school just because of my opinion and then i became a journalist parliamentary journalist i got kicked out from the m.p.'s just because i exposed the crush and i became

a columnist then again because i criticized the president of iran it was just a week before the controversial election 2009 my car got the wind allies in iraq and out 2 of my journalistic car was on that my vehicle be on so that was a message for me that you know it's going to happen to you as was so i decided just you know leave the country. now i am here and i'm not going to keep silent. i launched myself a freedom but after 3 years it was everywhere so like the president of iran knew

about it talked about it with all the media around the war the media inside iran the ring the state t.v. clerics and i thought oh my god now this is the time we have to shift the online movement to something offline these people need to identify each other so in 2017 i decided to actually you know pick and they pick a color and help these people to identify each other in public. these women in white ones they say are the only soldiers only warriors i called it one person the inspiration because they never have the permission to take this.

they will be shot they will be you know into prison they will be torture but they are brave they found a way to protest against oppression. oh this is about it yes what does she know. that i'm going to come enjoy you know i'm going to need to our 90. 5 sovereign marketers headed out and i have a job is going to do some the other little of that now what ok bye. it's not leading the campaign it's why then leading the campaign and i am only they

voiced. profound grief. this is the time men should get involved in women's movement so i created another campaign called the men in which all. the government are going to want to control the society because they know that this generation is not going to keep silent they found social media as an alternative media chooks press them selves to be loud and to break the censorship that is what the social media solve is a threat for islamic republic of iran so they try to block it because they see this is the main battleground and they don't want to lose control. system. but on the one. question

about you know washing or yeah. that's what i want. so i don't have the ideas that your father just to believe i mean it's not good enough someone because of your biased it. was hard but a lot are you sure they do not do the show you live or you are shocked realized this is not a ball that's just not there to come out of my own heart about it a little you got a lot of them were going to say yes yes you know what. like this is a big show actually in this show i give the platform to women inside iraq i mean mostly women it's about you know people inside iran who can use their camera and be their own voices the day or need to be on sunday video to me. i feel like i'm holding the whole iran you know they took me out from my country

but they couldn't take iran out of me so now social media and this show is my window toward iran are. going to show us the shock. the shock of course i am scared of receiving a lot of death threats specially when i see the government attack me through cyber are me calling me a prostitute calling me ugly the agent of cia the agent of m i 6 this kind of things actually from to beginning it was kind of hurting me but not now not anymore that's because of you i'm ready. i think. i have so many changes bad the biggest one as one day one many wrong

have the power to run the country. my dream is just one men are as equal as men. birth. hope. of species. oh worth saving. yes those are big changes and most start with small steps that can global ideas tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world. to use that could turn the climate green energy solutions and the 1st issue. to interactive content teaching the next generation about environmental

protection. using channels available to inspire people to take action. and we're determined to do something here for the next generation the idea is the environment series of global $3000.00 on t.w. and all mine. hundreds of thousands of hong kong ers are taking to the streets to protest their government. ergo you and i are. 17 year old zach ho is one of them they oppose a proposed extradition bill that could put.
