"40 Years" - a song for women's rights out now!

Ten lives that I’ve never met…

Inspired by the tragic events in 1983 when ten Iranian women were executed by hanging. Their 'crime': being Bahá'ís. "40 Years" is an emotionally-charged anthem that aims to shine a light on these women's heartbreaking story and the ongoing battle that every woman in Iran faces.

More about "40 Years"

When the International Bahá'í Community (BIC) launched their international #OurStoryIsOne campaign in 2023 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of these women's deaths, drawing attention to their story and encouraging people to contribute artistically, I knew I had to get involved. "40 Years" tells that story but also expresses the nobility and courage of these women who, although in dire circumstances, never recanted their Faith. It is a story of injustice but also one that demonstrates the power of the human spirit.
