Song of the day: Woman Life Freedom by Sevdaliza

“A woman without freedom is like a flower without soil. With freedom, she blooms. Without it, she withers,” Iranian-Dutch musician Sevdaliza said, explaining her new song “Woman Life Freedom.”

News Center- Iranian-Dutch musician Sevdaliza has released her new song named, “زن زندگی آزادی (Jin, Jiyan, Azadi- Woman, Life, Freedom) to show her solidarity with the women of Iran who have been fighting for their lives against the Iranian regime following the killing of 22-year-old Jina Mahsa Amini.

Singer and songwriter Sevdaliza said in a statement, “I wrote a song for oppressed women around the world. I stand proud as an Iranian woman and I am supporting the fight of my sisters who shed their blood, hair, hearts and brains to give us all the hope that one day, we will be free. At a young age I became aware of the systematic means of forcing women into obedience through violence and intimidation. To persuade women that their minds, bodies, and freedom do not belong to them. Our humanity demands we stand up against the oppression of women. Now. And forever. We must continue to speak up and fight institutions that condone oppression, violence and murder. We must face the people that deny the dignity and respect for all of us women. We are so tired of being told how to be, what to be.”
