#JinJiyanAzadi (Woman, Life, Freedom): The Genealogy of a Slogan
"For more background on how the slogan “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi” (“Woman, Life, Freedom”) spread throughout the region and became the watchword of the 2022 uprising in #iran .
(...)
The revolutionary uprising associated with the slogan “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi” (“Woman, Life, Freedom”) began in Iran almost six months ago, on September 16, 2022, when the morality police of the Islamic Republic murdered a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, Jina (Mahsa) Amini. Since then, the whole country has been on fire. This feminist revolution is not simply a response to compulsory hijab; it aims to put an end to 44 years of gender apartheid, patriarchy, military dictatorship, neoliberalism, nationalism, and Islamist theocracy. Like the so-called Arab Spring, the Jin, Jiyan, Azadi movement demands “the fall of the regime” with an eye toward systemic social change."
