After 2 years of non-stop virtual activities for women on JahanBanou platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Website, …), finally we have a chance of introducing the sole news agency that works for women not only in Iran, but in the whole wild world.
We got this chance on a very short notice, so we only made last minute plans to introduce JahanBanou as an official news agency. We gathered all of our team members who work on content, translation, graphics, and etc.
We worked on few texts to introduce what 3 sections of JahanBanou do (Farsi, English & Arabic), designed our brochures and banners to hang up in our stall, and wrote down a chart to divide duties between all members.
It has been a long time that a huge media propaganda against women has been going on in Iran. Any movement or its better to say any fact that show’s “Not only women are not limited in Islam, but they have a special position in this religion” or “ Women have progressed hugely during the Islamic Republic of Iran reign”; is attacked and violated by western media and their governments.
Furthermore, so having a chance to talk to women from all ages and sectors of the Iranian society; is a great chance to fulfill them with great self-esteem to not only inform them about the great success that Iranian women have had ever since the Islamic revolution, but to also get united to workout solution for any issues that women face in Iran and other countries around the world.
We cherished this great opportunity and went to all visitors of the exhibition in the Imam Khomeini Mosalla and had great conversation with women and young girls in this exhibition.
Showing the brochures and informing them about the establishment of this news agency; gave women and girls a great sense of hope and joy; that there’s a great platform for under the Islamic Republic of Iran’s flag and only works and speaks of “women”.
One of our great visitors at our stall was Dr Ali Bahadori Jahromi, Spokesperson of Iran’s Government, who was introduced to our activities and was amazed to see the hard work and effort that our team has put to bring up platforms that work only for women.
Stay tuned for more from the 35th International Book Fair in Tehran.
