My sister, take your rights
from those who keep you weak,
from those who through a thousand ploys
keep you seated in a house.

Your angry complaining
must become shouting, screaming.
You must break this heavy chain
to liberate your life.

Rise, uproot oppression,
revive the heart drenched in blood.
Struggle, struggle to transform laws
for the sake of your own freedom.

Forugh Farrokzhed (1935-1967) in “Women and the Family in the Middle East”
