Doors Open 7:00PM

Program: 7:30PM

Please join us at The ACT Arts Centre in honouring not only the 40th/41th anniversary of these ten women but to use it as an opportunity to honour all women who have contributed to building a better Iran through their suffering, to say that our story is one and that through our unity, we will combat oppression.

#OurStoryIsOne is a global campaign marking the 40th/41th anniversary of the execution of ten Baha’i women in Shiraz, Iran, who were hanged for their belief in a faith that promotes gender equality, justice and truthfulness.

The campaign has dedicated this anniversary to all women in Iran and in the world, regardless of faith and background, who have contributed to the long struggle for gender equality, calling for artistic content to honor the ten women as well as all the women in Iran and indeed throughout the world.

The campaign’s theme revolves around the concept of collective destiny, giving expression to calls for unity and asking all to see themselves as integral threads in the tapestry of a diverse but single, interconnected group. The powerful message of this year-long campaign is a shared aspiration for essential values and principles, in particular the realization of equality of women and men and a common vision for a prosperous future.
