Today marks 40 days since the death of Mahsa Amini. As the people of Iran and others around the world gather, I want to be clear: We stand with you. We hear your calls to action. And we’ll continue to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its abhorrent and heinous behaviour.

Following the women foreign ministers meeting last week, Canada along with 11 other nations have issued a joint statement on the situation in Iran. Our message is clear: Women’s rights are human rights. We salute the courage of the Iranian women. We hear you. We are with you.

Nous sommes solidaires – solidaires dans notre soutien aux femmes iraniennes, solidaires contre le comportement haineux de l’Iran, et solidaires dans notre détermination à demander des comptes à ce régime oppressif. Aujourd’hui, cette solidarité a été mise en évidence à Ottawa.

We stand united – united in support of Iranian women, united against Iran’s heinous behaviour, and united in our resolve to hold this oppressive regime accountable. Today, that unity was on display in Ottawa.

Today, I'm proud to stand with so many around the world in solidarity with the courageous women and girls in Iran. Your protests have inspired us.

As a global collective, we demand action. In solidarity with Iranian women, we condemn the brutal violence of security forces against peaceful protesters. We call for United Nations Member States to remove Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women. ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Downl…

This has been a beautiful part of the 2022 Iranian Revolt. Someone walks down the sidewalk, fist bumps pedestrians, gives them candy and says “with the hope of liberty”. زن٫زندگی٫آزادی

We’ll keep standing with Iranian women, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its oppression and brutality.

Join me in standing in solidarity with Iranian women and girls. The oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran’s regime should not be on the UN Commission on the Status for Women. Add your voice to this open letter to demand #IRIoffCSW: bit.ly/IRIoffCSW

We will not stand idly by in the face of the Iranian regime’s gross human rights violations. We’re taking concrete steps by imposing further sanctions— including on those who have directly persecuted Iran’s Baha’i religious minority. #WomenLifeFreedom #زن_زندگی_آزادی

Toxic cultures define success as winning a cutthroat competition. They reward people for stabbing others in the back. Healthy cultures define success as making a contribution. They reward people for having others’ backs. Good organizations elevate those who elevate others.

SHAME IN TENNESSEE!

What are we doing in America? Using guns to kill someone’s who drives up the wrong driveway? The culture of mistrust and guns is leading to an unacceptable level of violence. This is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind!
