The Ms. Q&A: Activist and Artist Parastou Forouhar Is Fighting for the “Iran That Could Have Been”

BY PARDIS MAHDAVI | "There are a lot of activists sitting in this horrible prison now... We have to name them, and we have to mobilize actions in the democratic cohort so that the regime in Iran knows that these people are not alone—they are heard, they are supported from the democratic countries and people, societies."

YOU'RE INVITED: To hear more from Parastou Forouhar and other Iranian women leading the feminist resistance, join Ms. this Monday, Dec. 21 at 3 p.m. ET for a conversation about Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, with Margaret Atwood, Nicholas Kristof, Forouhar, and others. RSVP here!
