In unserem Projekt „Die Stimme des anderen Geschlechts“ bringen Frauen* künstlerisch die Geschichten ihrer Unterdrückung auf die Bühne. Bei unserer Auftaktveranstaltung im Oktober hat uns dabei die Sängerin Faravaz Faradin aus Hamburg unterstützt. Zusammen mit vielen anderen Frauen erhebt sie ihre Stimme. Im Iran war es ihr verboten weiter zu singen, sie wurde beschimpft, beleidigt und bedroht. „I am a professional singer, women’s right activist from Iran and founder of the “Right to Sing” campaign. I flee from Iran two years ago and live in Germany now. […] Imagine just for one second here in Germany or any other country you suddenly were not allowed to listen to the voice of a women. Imagine your government would tell you that men listening to your music get sexually aroused and that is a bad thing. No wonder women must migrate if they want to sing freely or just to escape a jail sentence like in my case. […] I am one of that women and was forced to leave my country at the age of 28. I ran away from this misogynic government. What do you think? Is it worth to pay such a high price just for singing? I would like to stress out that even in the 21th century women are still imprisoned, exiled or even pay the highest price for a basic human right! All of us can help to change that awful situation. We can support each other and call for a change one by one. Please raise your voice and tell the world what is happening to us Iranian women!”
