🔵Afghan activists have sent a heartfelt message to the women of Iran, affirming that the ongoing war is nothing more than a horrific display of power-hungry patriarchal domination men who care neither for a drop of blood nor for the lives lost.
“What unites us,” they said, “is not just pain, but the very dream of freedom.”

🌐 From Afghan women to Iranian women: United by pain, dream of freedom
Three Afghan activists, Saima Sultani, Helen Farman, and Mazda Mehrkan, expressed their solidarity with Iranian women, declaring their full support for them amid the ongoing war with Israel.
“Not through imperialist interventions, but through women’s struggles”
In their open letter, shared by the Women’s News Agency (NUJINHA), they wrote:
“With hearts full of grief and anger, we write to you at a moment that was meant to mark the end of a disgraceful regime, one that murders women, enslaves workers, robs children of life, crushes the Kurds, and tramples the dreams of migrants.
It was meant to end at the hands of women. This brutality of executions and discrimination was never meant to become another card in the game of patriarchal imperialist politicians.
These very forces were the source and financiers of many anti-woman Islamic regimes in Asia and Africa: from Iran to the jihadist parties in Afghanistan, from the Taliban to ISIS and al-Qaeda.
The rotten body of the Islamic Republic should have been buried under your steadfast steps, not by the missiles of those whose hands are soaked in the blood of thousands of women and children in Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Lebanon, and now Iran.
The fall of this regime should have been a bright chapter in your struggle, not another dark page in the history of imperialist crimes.”
“Not at the hands of those stained with women’s blood”
“The Islamic Republic deserved to collapse at the hands of the resilient, undefeated pioneering women, women imprisoned for decades simply for yearning for freedom.
Women who did not bow to torture, humiliation, or erasure, but stood tall, meeting the shame of the regime with pride and defiance.
This collapse should have been a right earned by Zeynab Jalalian, who spent nearly twenty years in death-row cells without abandoning her beliefs.
The victory should have belonged to Sepideh Qolian, Leila Hosseinzadeh, Sepideh Rashno, Sharifeh Mohammadi, Warisha Moradi, Bakhshan Azizi, Golrokh Iraee, and thousands of unnamed but courageous women, whose burning hearts and unwavering resolve, shook the foundations of this corrupt regime without the need for weapons, rockets, or shields.
The end of this regime should have echoed the cries of women emerging from prison cells, from torment, and from the depths of the oppressed classes raising the banner of resistance and dignity.”
“Not through destruction, but through women’s struggle”
“Yes, the Islamic Republic must fall, but not by the hands of the same bloodstained regimes that invaded Afghanistan over twenty years ago under false slogans of democracy, women’s liberation, human rights, and counterterrorism.
In two decades, Afghan women gained no real freedom, only to find themselves once again under Taliban rule, fully handed over by those very powers that once claimed to protect them.
The wounded history of Afghan women stands as living testimony to the truth of women’s liberation, not through the missiles of patriarchal capitalists and colonizers, but in defiance of them.
These weapons have always been tools for legitimizing colonialism, genocide, looting, destroying homes, starving the poor, and trapping women in cycles of poverty, war, occupation, displacement, and repeated violence.”
“Not through War, but through justice”
“This frenzied campaign of mass killings has nothing to do with defending Israel or the United States, nor does it aim to free Iranian women.
It doesn’t even reflect a genuine defense of the Iranian people by their own regime.
What we are witnessing is a terrifying, orchestrated display of patriarchal power lust, treating war as a business and an investment, with no regard for blood or life.
These massacres are not random acts of war, they are part of a calculated strategy of global capitalism.
A system that feeds its profits and accumulates its wealth through the arms trade and the proliferation of wars, for the benefit of a tiny but ruling elite.
It seeks not only control over land and politics, but the destruction of mass feminist movements, labor protests, and all uprisings led by marginalized groups, deepening its dominance and extending its grip over time.”
“Not through blood, but through solidarity”
“We know you are living through unbearable days and nights. We know your hearts are full of rage, grief, screams, and pain.
We know how bitter it is to see a tyrant fall at the hands of another tyrant—after over forty years of sacrifice, when you gave your lives, your homes, your wealth, and your comfort for the cause.
We, Afghan women, know this pain too well.
But amidst all this cruelty, do not forget that the wounded, resilient shoulders of your Afghan sisters stand beside you.
We have lived your sorrow in exile, in displacement, and with every uprising of yours, our hearts beat louder.
Don’t forget, amid the oppressive theatrics of three patriarchal figures, Khamenei, Netanyahu, and Trump, that you are not alone.
Our hearts and our hands are with you. We are the women who, once again, feel the ground slipping away.
Our homeland was stolen and bombed, forcing us into migration once more, pushing us back to square one.
But we will not surrender. We will not accept this fate.
We will walk this path together, more united, more steadfast, more sisterly than ever.
Because what unites us is not only pain, but the very dream of freedom. We will continue, even if we have only one day of struggle left. In the end, we are the victors in this battle, even if our souls are torn away from us.”
