Brave women

Summary:
Courage is a capability to confront fear, as when in front of the powerful and mighty, not to step back, but stand up for one’s rights not to be humiliated or abused. Courage is to do the right thing in spite of danger and fear. To keep on even if opportunities to turn back are given. Dignity, a better life, or justice and rule of law, are things worth fighting for. Not to step back, in spite of confronting the mighty and powerful, creates courageous acts that stay in our memories and means something – as when this Iranian​ woman refuses to be harassed​ by self-appointed moral guardians.
