Short Summary
As I began to research and write about the situation of women in my homeland Iran, I understood that many have sacrificed so much in the path for freedom. I realized that too many were left unknown. For me, celebrating women's day is a big honor because we represent the women who have opened the path for us today and we are the inspirations of tomorrow. I realized that so many great women joined a great event in Berlin this year to commemorate women's day and these voices are left silent. I decided to make a magazine to convey the message of women who have united for change. Through this project, I've created a supportive network of women standing for change. My happiest moments of working on this project over the last months were working with these great women who have passed on their private experiences to us. The truth is that if we want to make a better tomorrow, we have to listen to one another. There is so much power in building a reservoir of examples. It builds confidence and provides purpose and helps us to take accountability for our own lives. I am excited to get the magazine printed and will translated it into French and hopefully to Arabic later to pass on the message that women can overcome fundamentalism when they unite! Help me publish 1000 copies.
Thank you for being here! If you like this project, please share on social media, with your friends and by word of mouth.

The Impact
This project is very valuable and I suggest you help out because I believe women need a voice and need to be heard. I want to have these great speeches and quotes to be kept because they will inspire all women and girls to keep going.
Risks & Challenges
The challenge I will face with project will be to use the
right pictures with the right quotes to represent each speaker. I don't want
leave anyone out but I'm limited in my pages.
What I plan to do is to work with a group of women to get
help on this.
If I succeed in publishing this magazine, my next step is to
translate this to French and Arabic.
