The Iranian Graduate Student Association (IGSA) collaborated with the Department of History to host an event chronicling the history of feminism in Iran and demonstrate support and solidarity for Iranian women. 

The Iranian Graduate Student Association held a rally in the student union on Friday, March 10 to bring awareness to the issues facing women in Iran. Over 100 universities worldwide held a similar event on the same day to commemorate international women’s day.

But even oceans away from Iran, Stony Brook students are doing their part on campus to raise awareness for the circumstances overseas. “We hear their voice, and we are their voice here,” said an Iranian Ph.D. student who has asked to remain anonymous out of safety concerns.
