The recent death of Jina Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman, in
Iran on September 16, 2022, sparked a wave of protests both
within the country and abroad. Although the protests have a
strong feminist and queer focus, these topics are barely given
attention in public discourse. As a response, a small group of
organizers from Berlin and Leipzig initiated a panel discussion
on the topic "Iran Revolution - A Queer Feminist Approach to
Unity." Moderated by Yasemin Said, the panel features speakers
from the diaspora who share their experiences, insights, and
perspectives on the current situation. The panel also takes into
account the revolution from the perspectives of trans* and
non-binary individuals and contextualizes the need to achieve
solidarity across communities. The speakers include Ozi Ozar, a
queer professional theatre artist; Aylar, an intersectional queer
feminist, LGBTQI+ rights activist, and photographer; and Arya, an
LGBTQI+ rights activist and trans feminist, member of the #MeToo
movement in Iran, and member of the Iran kink community.
