In Iran, where women are banned from singing publicly, Parasto Ahmadi defied restrictions and held her first-ever concert. In a private venue, far from the reach of the regime’s security forces, she performed with courage and determination, wearing what she chose and relying on borrowed resources to make it happen. Her act was yet another testament to the extraordinary bravery of Iranian women, a force no power can silence.

The struggles faced by women in Iran are immense, challenges that are hard to grasp for those living in freer societies. Yet, these women continually prove their resilience, sending a powerful message to the world: women’s rights are universal, and Iranian women will never surrender to oppression or indignity.
