At boarding school in Sanandaj aged 14, she defended herself against an aggressive teacher who called her promiscuous. She had two choices: to bow her head and lose respect, or to rebel and be thrown out of school. She threw a plate of food at the teacher, “and overnight I became a political leader.” Diana Nammi went on to organize protests and call for secularism, equality and human rights during the 1979 Revolution. When the new Islamic regime attacked Kurdistan shortly afterwards, she joined the Peshmerga fighters to “take control and fight for freedom.” To read Tara Biglari's report about the award-winning activist visit our website at: www.kayhanlife.com. . #diananammi #peshmerga #kurdishwomen #freedomfighter #womenofcourage #iraq #iran #islamicrevolution #kurdistan #empoweringwomen #heforshe #karenatwood #refugees #iamanimmigrant #kayhanlife (at London, United Kingdom)
