Fatima Benam and the other Iranian women

Back in December 2022, MYP4 and MYP5 Literature plus classes attended an event held by Viva Vittoria in Treviso. An association which raises awareness and acts against female violence. (Link)  Fatima Benam - an Iraninan activist and a founder of this association -  gave a presentation to us about the women-led uprisings which are occurring nowadays in Iran, causing the death of hundreds and hundreds of protesters, usually of young age.  Starting her life journey in 1975, Fatima grew up in an era of war, of fear and bloodshed. She explained to us the violations she felt already at a young age, the fear of walking to school alone, the constant fear that the sounds released by the bombs would come even closer to her home. Can you imagine this?
