Ferdos Hatami Taher – Jina Movement.pdf

The article discusses the issue of the representation of Kurdish women's identity and the mechanisms of oppression and marginalization they face in Iran. The author, Ferdous Hatami Taher, argues that the way Kurdish women's identity is represented in the media and in public discourse is a continuation of the mechanisms of oppression and marginalization that have been used against Kurds in general. The article focuses on two specific events: the sale of Kurdish girls from Quchan in 1905 and the death of Zhina, a Kurdish woman who was killed by the Iranian authorities in 2022. The author argues that these events are not isolated incidents, but rather part of a larger pattern of oppression and marginalization of Kurdish women in Iran. The article also discusses the role of the media and public discourse in perpetuating these mechanisms of oppression and marginalization, and argues that a critical examination of these mechanisms is necessary in order to challenge and change them.
