The Labour Party Annual Conference 2025

The Centre for Kurdish Progress and Solidarity Action fringe: WOMEN, LIFE, FREEDOM: THE KURDISH ROLE IN IRAN’S DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT

Jin, Jiyan, Azadî — Women, Life, Freedom — began as a Kurdish call for liberation and became the slogan of a movement that shook Iran to its core. This event explores the central role of Kurdish women and activists in the uprising, their resistance to state violence, and their vision for a democratic future. Join us to hear how a struggle rooted in Kurdistan became a catalyst for change across Iran.

Speakers:

• Blair McDougall MP, MP for East Renfrewshire (invited)
• Luke Akehurst MP, MP for North Durham (invited)
• Taimoor Aliassi, UN Representative
• Diana Nammi, Iranian & Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation (IKWRO)

Chair: Fabian Hamilton MP, MP for Leeds North East
