#OurStoryIsOne
On 18 June 1983, 10 Baháʼí women were taken to a square in Shiraz, Iran, under the cloak of night.

Their crime was their belief in a faith that promoted gender equality — absent and criminalized in Iran — justice and truthfulness. They were hanged one by one, each forced to watch the next woman’s death in a harrowing attempt to coerce them into renouncing their faith. None did.
