These headlines all further the point of a single story. Most outsiders read these unnerving stories from outside sources, often manipulating the information to seem worse, and making assumptions that don't represent the actual facts about the area. However, there is a lot being done to change these rules and move the region further into a more equal area. There are people in these areas that are fighting to change these stereotypes of the region into positives.

"What a stupid girl you are! You think you matter to him, that you're wanted in his house? You think you're a daughter to him? That he's going to take you in? Let me tell you something. A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing, Mariam. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed, it won't stretch to make room for you. I'm the only one who loves you. I'm all you have in this world, Mariam, and when I'm gone you'll have nothing, You'll have nothing You are nothing!"(Hosseini 19)

What Nana says to Marium about who she is summarizes how most women are treated in the middle east. In the novel, Nana is basically raped then thrown out when the father gets a new "wife." Nana constantly tries to explain to Marium how women are treated, and that most women are believed to be "nothing." This belief applies to the middle east today. Women don't have a lot of the same rights that men do, and are being forced to do things that they don't believe in. However, recent events have shown that women are rising above how the country believes they should be, often protesting in large groups and breaking laws that shouldn't apply in the first place.

Analysis: This piece of art by Sahar Ghorishi shows what women are doing to protest in Iran. On the top it shows women taking off their hijabs against the current laws, as current laws prohibit women from not wearing a hijab in public. The left side shows women hands raising, representing women power in Iran. This piece is a strong representation of the community in Iran fighting for women's rights. This law has been in place for decades, and with the recent rise in protests, is finally being brought to light.

This letter written by activist Azam Jangravi shows the horrible truth of the situation in Iran. They write how the identity of Iran is cursed with injustice and sexism. However, they also show how the people of Iran don't represent the identity of the country. They are strong, confident, and willing to lay their lives down in hopes for a better future for other women. This piece portrays the duality of the country and its people. It realizes that as of right now there isn't much positivity to display, but that everything their doing is putting a mark down in history and that people will hear these stories. This letter is showing the true side of Iran and its people.
