Her last words were: \u201cYou can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Almost exactly 170 years later, in the same city, a 22-year-old woman died after being arrested by the so-called guidance patrol, Islamic religious police who adhere to strict interpretations of sharia\u00a0law. Her offence was not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards. When the police detained her, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/mahsa-amini-was-tortured-and-insulted-before-she-died-in-police-custody-in-iran-her-cousin-says-12705226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">woman\u2019s brother explained<\/a>\u00a0they weren\u2019t from Tehran and were unaware of the city\u2019s rules (the family were\u00a0 visiting from Saqqez, a Kurdish city in the west, close to the border of Iraqi Kurdistan) to no avail: she was taken to a police station anyway. There, her family allege, she was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.alaraby.co.uk\/news\/mahsa-amini-was-insulted-and-tortured-death-cousin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cinsulted and tortured\u201d<\/a>, collapsing before eventually being taken to hospital. Upon arrival doctors discovered the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpersbazaar.com\/uk\/culture\/culture-news\/a41294323\/what-happened-to-mahsa-amini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">woman had suffered<\/a>\u00a0\u201cbrain death\u201d. Two days later, she suffered a cardiac arrest and was unable to be resuscitated.<\/p>\n<p>The woman\u2019s name was J\u00eena, which means \u2018life\u2019 in Kurdish.\u00a0<i>J\u00een<\/i>\u00a0(and its equivalent\u00a0<i>Jiyan<\/i>) is etymologically related to\u00a0<i>Jin<\/i>, the Kurdish word for woman. But the world has come to know her better in death by her Iranian name: Mahsa Amini.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after Amini\u2019s violent death on 16 September,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/anfenglish.com\/news\/protests-continue-in-many-cities-of-iran-and-east-kurdistan-for-jina-amini-62578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protests broke out and spread from the Kurdish parts of Iran<\/a>\u00a0to the whole country and the world. Demonstrators\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jiyargol\/status\/1574094960789536769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chanted\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0the Kurdish slogan \u201cjin, jiyan, azad\u00ee\u201d \u2013 \u201cwoman, life, freedom\u201d. But in news reports, particularly Western ones, J\u00eena Amini\u2019s Kurdish identity has been erased \u2013 she is described as an Iranian woman and her \u2018official\u2019 Persian name \u2018Mahsa\u2019 \u2013 which for her family and friends existed only on state-documents \u2013is the one in headlines. Calls to \u201csay her name\u201d echo in real life and across social media but unwittingly obscure J\u00eena\u2019s real name and, in doing so, her Kurdish identity.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian state discrimination against Kurds includes a widespread ban of Kurdish names which forces many families to register their children officially with non-Kurdish names, while maintaining their actual names at home. This in turn fragments the experience of many Kurds and creates an \u2018official-legal\u2019 and an \u2018unofficial-illegal\u2019 identity. The authentic ethnic-cultural identity loses its validity and a name that says nothing about your roots identifies you.<\/p>\n<p>Some people that insist on calling J\u00eena Amini by her state-approved name Mahsa effectively argue that she did not lose her life under detention because she was Kurdish, but only because she was a woman. Therefore \u2013 according to the argument \u2013 it is not necessary or significant to call her by her Kurdish name.<\/p>\n<p>Iran is an antidemocratic state, based on brutal rule. Anyone who is not part of the apparatus of oppression is in danger \u2013 no matter what sex, religion or ethnic group they belong to. Some are even more vulnerable than others. This is particularly the case for women and for Kurds.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely that the immoral \u2018morality police\u2019 that arrested J\u00eena on 13 September at the entry of Shahid Haghani Expressway in the presence of her brother (who has also an unofficial Kurdish and an official Persian name) were aware of her ethnic identity. It is possible that they treated her with particular brutality because of it. It is likely that she resisted the insults and curses of the officers so much\u00a0<i>because<\/i>\u00a0of her identity and political consciousness as a Kurdish woman.<\/p>\n<p>But regardless of whether or not her Kurdish identity played a significant role in the detention and brutal violence that led to Amini\u2019s death, understating or concealing her ethnic origin represents a reproduction of colonial politics of the Iranian regime towards the Kurdish people. This attitude is a distillation of the power and suppression of the majority nation \u2013 even when expressed by well-meaning Persian feminists.<\/p>\n<p>Amini\u2019s death has seen Kurdish slogans calling for women\u2019s liberation and revolution echo around the world. \u201cJin, jiyan, azad\u00ee\u201d \u2013 and its translations \u2013 has reverberated through crowds and demonstrations held in solidarity with freedom-seeking women in Iran. Even in Afghanistan\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/taliban-disrupt-afghan-women-s-rally-supporting-iran-protests-\/6768633.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">women chanted the slogan<\/a>, despite attacks on demonstrators by the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>This chant originated in the Kurdistan women\u2019s liberation movement. It embodies the movement\u2019s goal: to liberate life through a women\u2019s revolution. It was first chanted collectively by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/elifxeyal\/status\/1576507905926664193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kurdish women on 8 March 2006<\/a>, at gatherings marking International Women\u2019s Day across Turkey. After this came a period in which annual campaigns challenged patriarchal mindsets and misogynist practices within Kurdish society.\u00a0 This period of intense struggle against patriarchy culminated in the Rojava revolution 10-years-ago, on 19 July 2012, which sent the slogan \u201cjin, jiyan, azad\u00ee\u201d echoing around the world, beyond the borders of Kurdistan.<\/p>\n<p>The Kurdish women\u2019s movement does not aim to monopolise this slogan, in contrast it aims to universalise it in the struggle for women\u2019s democratic confederalism worldwide. Nevertheless, its roots and context should be acknowledged. Otherwise, we run the risk of emptying our slogans of active struggle and allowing them to lose their meaning. As I write this piece, women of the German party CDU\/CSU \u2013 under whose government the Kurdish liberation movement has been criminalised the most \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AhmadSamadi1974\/status\/1575092666970144769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are protesting J\u00eena\u2019s killing<\/a>\u00a0in Berlin, holding posters with the German translation of \u201cjin, jiyan, azad\u00ee\u201d.<\/p>\n<h4>J\u00eena Amini was a Kurdish woman.
