Priyanka Chopra Extends Her Support To Iranian Women On Social Media
Global superstar Priyanka Chopra recently supported a burning issue related to the Iranian government. The death of 22-year-old girl Mahsa Amini has sparked global protests against the Guidance Patrol (Iranian morality police) as women raise their voices against the kind of violence they are subjected to in countries like Iran.
Extending her support, Bollywood-American actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is also a UNICEF ambassador, shared a post on social media where she urged people around the world to listen to the voices of Iranian women fighting for their rights.
Priyanka shared a post. She wrote, “Women in Iran and around the world are standing up and raising their voices, publicly cutting their hair and many other forms of protest for Mahsa Amini, whose young life was taken away so brutally by the Iranian Morality Police for wearing her hijab ‘improperly’. The voices that speak after ages of forced silence, will rightfully burst like a volcano! And they will not and MUST not be stemmed.”
She added, “I am in awe of your courage and your purpose. It is not easy to risk your life, literally, to challenge the patriarchal establishment and fight for your rights. But, you are courageous women doing this every day regardless of the cost to yourselves.”
She further wrote, “To ensure that this movement will have a lasting effect, we must hear their call, understand the issues and then join in with our collective voices. We must also get everyone who can influence others to join as well. Numbers matter.”
She concluded, “Add your voice to this critical movement. Stay informed and be vocal, so these voices can no longer be forced to stay silent. I stand with you. Jin, jiyan , azaadi… Women, life, freedom. #MahsaAmini #IranProtests #WomanLifeFreedom.”
In another post shared by the actress earlier this week, Priyanka Chopra Jonas posed with American Vice President Kamala Harris as she urged American women to vote and emphasized the need to understand their right to vote.
