دستهایم را در باغچه میکارم

Light will win over darkness.
This is to celebrate the Winter Solstice. The 3000 year old tradition of Yaldā was recognized as a UNESCO intangible heritage in 2022, with Iran and Afghanistan as the official representatives. “Yaldā/Chella refers to a traditional celebration of the sun and the warmth of life. Practiced in Iran and Afghanistan, the event takes place on the last night of autumn.” #WomenLifeFreedom #IranRevolution2022

This is dedicated to the loving people of Iran.
These days, handing out chocolate on the streets of Iran for women, life, and freedom can be punishable...
There is an ongoing trend among the brave people who are resisting gender apartheid in Iran: whenever you see a woman disobeying the mandatory hijab law, you would hand her chocolate, give her a hug or a handwritten note that reads “thank you for making our city beautiful.”
Those who engage in such loving acts are in danger of being arrested, as well as other consequences.

Those stars who are being executed in the dark…
Although they fall on the ground
They will rise up again at the dawn…
ستاره‌ها، اعدامیان ظلمت
به خاک اگرچه می‌ریزند
سحر دوباره برمی‌خیزند
