Mr. Speaker, “Zan, zendegi, azadi. Woman, life, freedom.” This is the call we hear around the world as brave Iranian women dedicate their lives to fighting for freedom, human rights and equality. The revolution itself started by the actions of Jina Mahsa Amini, one brave woman in Iran, and that is the definition of extraordinary heroism. Since then, it has been carried out by women around the world, who are undeterred by threats of torture, imprisonment and death from the mullahs of Iran’s ruthless regime. After six months, the revolution’s heart beats strong. On International Women’s Day we are reminded of the immense courage of the countless women who have committed themselves to causes like the revolution and freedom and liberty across the globe. We are reminded that strong, passionate, dedicated women can and will change the world. May we know them. May we raise them. May we be them.
