Drawing on diverse sources, including Persian literature, constitutional discourse, and the Bahá’í vision of global unity, the discussion explores how today’s movements—such as Woman, Life, Freedom—are reshaping peace as an act of participation, accountability, and shared belonging.Hosted by the Iran 1400 Project, this episode invites you to reflect on peace not as the end of struggle, but as the beginning of just relationships and ethical civic life.
