Jina Amini (Mahsa Amini) invites the world to a dance !

Jina invites the world to a dance, one which doesn't look like any other !

#MahsaAmini, whose original Kurdish name is #JinaAmini, was brutally killed by the

Iranian morality police. This is the news that has been circulating in the international media for days now.

On September 13th 2022, while Jina was visiting #Tehran with her family, she was captured by the Iranian morality police with the charge of "showing too much hair" in public. After only two hours of interrogations, she was rushed to the hospital due to the torture she received from the police. On September 16th 2022, Jina lost her life !

For the first time ever, the Kurdish and Iranian people are on the streets with one voice and one cause. What makes this case quite special, is that for the first time, a real movement happened. Not based on race or nationality or any differences. Everyone on the streets, is standing for a human right ! Injustice ! and forcing what should be a personal decision.

It did not take long, until the world was moved with this news.

Jina, meaning "LIFE" in Kurdish language, must have wanted to live so much, that even when her soul left her body. It entered as a revolutionary spirit in the hearts of thousands all around the world !

Jin, Jiyan, Azadi which translates to Woman, Life, Liberty is the motto of this movement. This is a Kurdish motto, that indicates that women come in line with life and the liberty of nations.

Some of the very important points, that are there but being missed, are the following:

• Jina was a Kurdish woman. Not only she was a woman living under an oppressive state, she was from an oppressed group living in Iran. It's unfortunate that the media skips this fact and identifies her as an Iranian woman. Call her by her name, her name was Jina. Call her by the name her mother was screaming over her grave, she was screaming Jina. They took her life, don't let them take her name too.

• This is not a movement against Islam or any other religion, this is a movement against oppression ! Many of the people who were arguing why this revolution shouldn't happen, were of the point view that this is against Islam. But the truth is, this is not against any religion in specific, it's against the breaching of basic human rights.

• While as a woman, if you are living in a country that forces you to wear a hijab or not wear a hijab, you are being violated. It's your human right to choose, whichever you want to do. It might appear to some that countries that force women to take off hijab could be better and more liberated, but the truth is that they are equal in brutality with women.

With all this mentioned, I hope we can work on creating a world, where all of us can live in peace and no one has to die for us to understand that "her body, her choice".
