What is our goal?

Our goal in creating this project is to translate the collection of Farsi “for…” tweets published with the #mahsaAmini hashtags into English and make it known to the world. This movement is a part of the protests formed in Iran, which were formed by the people to stand for the killing of Mahsa Amini by the morality police and dissatisfaction with the government of the Islamic Republic due to the numerous political, social, and economic problems such as violating human rights.

What are the series of “for…” tweets, how was it formed, and what is the purpose of writing them?

The tweets of “for…” tell all the regrets, desires, anger, etc… of the Iranian people in the last 44 years (current regime). These tweets start with the word “for” and then people express their desires, regrets, and wishes that they could not fulfill due to the rules and conditions of the ************ in the society (e.g., “For Woman, freedom, life”). Hoping for a day when all people can live freely and fulfill their dreams.
