Jina is the symbol of the struggle to reclaim life: the attainment of equality, justice and liberation from oppression. Iran's state femicide of Jina (Mahsa) Amini and the killing of hundreds of martyrs and thousands of wounded and imprisoned, has truly ignited the flame of the Jin Jiyan Azadî revolutionary movement, with women, trans and queer people and other oppressed marginalized groups in its forefront. It crossed borders and has united us together in our fight and resistance.

Now on the eve of the anniversary of the murder of Jina, which is but the continuation of femicide politics and systematic misogyny of the Islamic Republic regime, in solidarity with this revolutionary movement, we, a group of feminist collectives will join other feminist groups outside Iran.

This is a call on all those whose aim and ambition is a world free of sexual, gender, class, national, racial, ethnic and religious oppression to participate in a film screening followed by a night street march on 16 September 2023 in Edinburgh, where we will loudly shout:

————————————————————

Liberation is our right, Jina symbol of our fight
