From Evin for Woman, Life, Freedom

On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2023, the Iranian Women’s Movement Museum(irwmm.org) is showing “From Evin for Woman, Life, Freedom” at Amare, The Hague. It is inspired by the many efforts in the Evin’s women’s ward to join the struggle of the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ movement on the street. The exhibition helps to develop a better emotional understanding of and connection with the issues facing the women activist prisoners incarcerated in Evin, because of their peaceful struggles for freedom. The walls surrounding Evin Prison cannot prevent the shared struggle occurring on both sides, in the prison and on the street. We are trying to embody the solidarity of ‘Woman, Life, Freedom, whether in prison, on the streets, or in diaspora.
