🎧 Episode Title: From Zan to Zan, Zendegi, Azadi
Subtitle: How Iranian Women’s Voices Reclaimed the Language of Liberation

How did the Persian word zan—long used to frame women in terms of obedience, modesty, or sacrifice—become the rallying cry of a new civic movement?

In this episode, we explore the deep cultural and political evolution behind the slogan “Zan, Zendegi, Azadi” (“Woman, Life, Freedom”). Far more than a chant, it represents a generational shift in how Iranian women see themselves—and how they demand to be seen. We trace this transformation through language, literature, law, and lived resistance.
