Women in Iran: 40 years of saying NO to the Islamic Republic and Political Islam

Women and the revolutionary movement in Kurdistan

In April 1979, the Islamic Republic staged a military attack on Kurdistan and dropped Napalm bombs on the city of Sanandaj. This was a place where people had no illusions about the Islamic Republic and wanted to continue the revolution. In Sanandaj, people were directly involved in running the city through their councils. Women played a prominent role on the various fronts of the revolutionary movement in Kurdistan, including in the partisan war, against the Islamic Republic.
