Women Stand Against Extreme Patriarchy in Iran

It's the Handmaid's Tale on steroids. Women enslaved, and god/religion used as the justification. Women raped, and then punished for it by death (usually by burying her in sand and stoning!) Women blamed for men's inability to control their sexual and violent urges. And where has the West, the bastion of freedom and equality, been? Standing with hands in pockets. Making the world safe for sharia law in Europe and the U.S. Where is the International Women's Protective Army? Obviously men will not free us. It requires women around the globe to stand up for their sisters and pressure each government to stand against the brutal repression of women by Extreme Patriarchy!
Our sisters in Iran deserve our support!
