Marjan, renowned Iranian singer who once imprisoned in Iran but later escaped the country, performed for the audience in the International Women\u2019s Day 2016 event.

First to speak from the Albanian delegation was Drita Avdyli, Former Deputy Minister and current Chairwoman of the National Chamber of Mediation, who expressed solidarity with the women of Iran who are fighting against one of the most difficult dictatorships of all time. She recounted to the audience her pride in being one of the first people in Albania to welcome Iranian refugees and said that she joins the Resistance in their fight until the day Iran is free.<\/p>\n

Diana Culi, writer, journalist and politician, called the women of Iran her \u201cheroes\u201d. \u201cDon\u2019t give up\u201d she pleaded to the women of the world.<\/p>\n

Sevim Arbana, founder of the organization \u201cUseful to Albanian Women\u201d (UAW), empathised with the women of Iran as she knows what it is like to live under a dictatorship, but called on them to keep up their courage as change is possible.<\/p>\n

A delegation of young people then joined the stage. Naghmeh Rajabi has lost loved ones in the hands of the Iranian regime – Afsaneh Rajabi, executed at the age of only 22 and Zahra Rajabi who was assassinated by Iranian regime\u2019s agents on February 20, 1996 while helping the Iranian refugees in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Despite being very young when she was forced to flee Iran, Rajabi remembers clearly the restrictions imposed on Iranian girls and women under the name of Islam. Today, she can see that the situation has become much worse as women are vulnerable to being raped, risk execution for defending oneself against an attacker and at risk of becoming the victim of an acid attacks for daring to speak their mind or dress as they please.<\/p>\n

She concluded by saying that this cause is a global cause that requires everyone to be united and to spread the word of the \u201cpledge for parity and women united against Islamic fundamentalism\u201d as loud as possible.<\/p>\n

\"Beatrice1\"Beatriz Becerra Basterrechea, Spanish Member of European Parliament, said that the violations against women is quite simply a crime, and crimes need to be prosecuted and punished. In 2016 it is unacceptable that women are still denied their civil and individual rights in Iran.<\/p>\n

\"Baroness-Boothroyd-1\"Baroness Betty Boothroyd, British politician, applauds Mrs. Rajavi and the Resistance for their courageous struggle and commitment to a free and democratic Iran. She commends all Muslim women for not staying silent. \u201cYour struggle for freedom and HR in Iran has not been easy\u201d, she said via a video message to IWD2016 event. “It is now time for international communities to pledge their support.”<\/p>\n

\"Kirsty1\"Kirsty Brimelow, Queen\u2019s Counsel Chairwoman of Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales, first pointed out that the Bar of Human Rights stands with the Resistance in their fight for freedom and women\u2019s rights in Iran. She said it is obvious what needs to be done. She said the constitution needs changing – you can\u2019t have a constitution that is rooted in medieval times.<\/p>\n

Restricting females as judges needs to be changed for obvious reasons. And with regards to Camp Liberty \u2013something needs to be done by the UN. They need to recognize it as a refugee camp, not a detention center. She said that this is not even a big step because the UN already recognizes the residents as persons of concern.<\/p>\n

“The UN needs to recognize Camp Liberty as a refuge camp,” she said.<\/p>\n

\"20160227_180832-700\"<\/p>\n

Maria Candida Almeida, Attorney General Deputy in the Supreme Court, attended to voice her concern at the senselessness of the struggle that women face in 2016. She also attended to voice and show her solidarity for the struggle. She wants everyone to keep fighting for the voice of reason.<\/p>\n

Gisoo Shakeri, exiled Iranian singer, women’s activist, poet and writer performed for the audience.

Yakin Ertuk, former UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women from 2003 to 2006, spoke of her visit to Iran at the invitation of the Iranian regime over a decade ago. She was shocked by what she saw and claims she will never forget her trip, but is happy that her report was able to help the Resistance in their continuing efforts.<\/p>\n

She said that fundamental human rights, the law and extremists are on course for a head-on collision. She wants to know who will win. She said she cannot answer that, but she will do everything she can to uphold human rights.<\/p>\n

Rashida Manjoo, former UN Rapporteur on Violence against Women from 2009 to 2015 said that \u201cfor evil to flourish, all it takes is good people to remain silent\u201d. Silence, she affirms, perpetuates the evil that is affecting so many people around the world.<\/p>\n

She describes the United Nations as \u201ca government of governments\u201d, and for this reason we must realise and remember that political persuasion and economic policies come into play. Nevertheless, violence against women is view as one of the most serious violations of human rights.<\/p>\n

Although there has been much progression in human rights, there are many gaps that need to be properly addressed. She believes that states are not being held accountable for upholding the rights of women. The lack of punitive action for violations of human rights is the main factor in the violations being allowed to continue.<\/p>\n

She said that Mrs. Rajavi should be praised for supporting refugees and those who are discriminated against. Mrs. Rajavi is a success for freedom, for the Quran and for women.<\/p>\n

She pledges the support of Morocco in their fight for freedom, despite the country having its own problems. Education is the key \u2013 if we educate our own countries we can start to see change.<\/p>\n

Ingrid Betancourt, Colombian politician and presidential candidate, said we have a duty to ensure that we all have the same rights \u2013 all despite our very different cultures and backgrounds. \u201cParity is the cornerstone of all freedom, democracy and human rights\u201d, she highlights. It is \u201cnot a cultural issue\u201d, rather it is something that every human being is entitled to.<\/p>\n

Ms. Betancourt said that Khomeini is a \u201csupreme dictator\u201d and Mrs. Rajavi is presenting a new model that can be the change that is needed in Iran.<\/p>\n

The fight of Mrs. Rajavi is our fight, \u201cmy fight\u201d, she said. We need Mrs. Rajavi to succeed. It is the duty of the women on the stage and in the audience to get involved.<\/p>\n

Rita Sussmuth, German politician and former President of the German Federal Parliament applauded the women and men who are risking their lives every day for the freedom of Iran. In particular, she mentions the bravery of the Camp Liberty residents who have undergone appalling persecution.<\/p>\n

Ms. Sussmuth emphasised that \u201cwe cannot have freedom without peace\u201d. The role of women is essential \u2013 they should be included in the move towards peace instead of being excluded.<\/p>\n

If we stay silent to what is going on, we are saying \u201cit\u2019s ok\u201d to what is being done to women. Ms. Sussmuth said that the energy in the room \u2013 from both women and men \u2013 is remarkable and will go a long way in helping women finally gain the equality they deserve.<\/p>\n

Linda Chavez, former Director of Public Liaisons for the White House, spoke of the \u201cso-called elections\u201d taking in place in Iran yesterday in which women were denied the vote. She said that although we do not know the outcome of the election, the result does not matter \u2013 nothing will change in Iran until there is regime change.<\/p>\n

Ms. Chavez deplored the fact that half of the population of Iran is denied the most fundamental rights. She said this speaks volume about the men of the country \u2013 they are \u201cweak\u201d and have \u201cno self-control\u201d.<\/p>\n

After the distinguished guests are welcomed, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi takes to the stage. She is greeted with thunderous applause. She called fundamentalism a \u201cproliferating cancer\u201d that is spreading across the world. She stresses the importance of getting to the epicentre of fundamentalism and finding a way to uproot it. Mrs. Rajavi confirms that women should play a part in this.<\/p>\n

\"MaryamRajavi-750\"<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi talks of Khamenei\u2019s role in the terrible persecution of women. She condemns the horrific violence that Iranian women are subject to under Khamenei\u2019s rule. Not only is a woman\u2019s testimony dismissed, he allows minor female children to be married against their will, he justifies sexual abuse of minors and rape of women. These are just a few of the human rights abuses that are permitted under Khamenei.<\/p>\n

Regarding the rate of executions in Iran, Mrs. Rajavi recalls those females who were executed, in particular the minors: Fatemeh Mesabah who was only 13 at the time of execution, Mojgan Jamshidi who was only 14 when she was executed, and Noushin Emami who was only 16. These executions along with the dozens of other executions of women that were carried out as punishment for petty crimes are what we must remember. She said that these injustices will make women fight harder for the equality they deserve.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Rajavi ended her speech by talking of what she hopes to achieve in the future. She plans to abolish the death penalty, separate religion and state, create a democracy based on freedom and equality, and achieve equal rights for women in \u201call political, social and economic arenas\u201d. She wants to see women participate in politics so that they have equal participation in political leadership. She highlights that the PMOI practice this already \u2013 it is full of women who work alongside men in the struggle for equality in freedom.<\/p>\n

Ranjana Kumari, Director of the Centre for Social Research in India and a leading figure in Indian politics, welcomes the audience and states the purpose of the gathering held today. She says that women are here to fight for female rights and to keep up the momentum in saying \u201cno\u201d to injustice. She thanks Mrs. Rajavi for standing up for women\u2019s rights and her efforts in protecting women.<\/p>\n

Despite global efforts, women are forced to flee Iran, Ranjana Kumari emphasises. She asks: \u201cWhich sacred text allows you to degrade humanity?\u201d She commends those women who work towards a peaceful world for women and highlights that women are absolutely essential to developing our nations. Women need to be part of the peace talks, women need to contribute to helping our countries develop and women need to be encouraged to be at the forefront, she reminds us.<\/p>\n
