A luta das ativistas exiladas e residentes do Irã contra a supressão de seus direitos

Abstract

The present work aims to examine how Iranian activists portray, through different media, the struggle for women's rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on a distinction between exiled activists and those who continue to live in Iran. It questions whether these conditions impact in the forms of activism wielded by them. The work is based on Jordan's (2012) reading of activism, which indicates that individual identity and a sense of solidarity are necessary in the search for transgression among the people involved. This is a qualitative research, as the first chapter is based on a bibliographical review to understand Iranian history and the second chapter is based on the conceptual definitions of activism and the use of primary sources to evaluate the expressions and articulations of the activists studied, namely: a) Simin Behbahani, b) Shirin Ebadi, c) Narges Mohammadi, d) Vida Movahed, e) Masih Alinejad, f) Nazila Maroofian. The hypotheses that exiled activists and those residing in Iran have different ways of engaging with the cause and that social networks have been used with greater intensity by those in exile could be concluded positively with the results obtained in the research. It is concluded that there is a significant difference in the discourse of activists in exile, especially on social media, as when they are based outside of Iran, the possibility of censorship by the Iranian regime is lower.
