Soraya Fallah title of speech:

 Struggles of Hyphenated Identity in the "Woman, Life, Freedom/Jin/Jiyan, Azadi " Movement

Focus on Kurdish Women in Iran

In my research presentation on the struggles of hyphenated identity in the "Women, Life, Freedom" Revolution, focusing on Kurdish women in Iran, I shed light on the multifaceted experiences of Kurdish women navigating oppressive norms and structures. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks such as feminist theory Margin-Center Theory, and intersectionality. I explore the complexities of Kurdish women's lives within the broader context of the women's movement in Iran. Through examining historical injustices, political developments, cultural factors, and the impact of patriarchal structures, I uncover the challenges Kurdish women face in their activism and pursuit of rights. Moreover, I highlight their agency and resilience in challenging societal expectations, asserting their rights, and working towards empowerment within the "Women, Life, Freedom" Revolution. Through this research, we gain a deeper understanding of Kurdish women's struggles, aspirations, and contributions in Iran and the importance of their inclusion in the broader women's movement for lasting gender equality and freedom.
