Online vs. offline activism!



I was talking with a friend on the phone the other day and she was telling me about all different and challenging situation Iranian women have, especially in small town and villages. She was telling me ourselves, growing up in the big cities in Iran, didn't let us see these women's challenges and now it is time for us to educate ourselves and do something for them. I am reviewing all the different (in some cases horrifying!) stories she told me over and over since yesterday. I feel so overwhelmed and in the stage of "doing something"! I was thinking about doing online activism through internet but as each day passes I realize it more how I am excluding different marginalized women groups in Iran who does not have access to the internet. I am excluding women who may need more resources to gain their "basic rights" and to raise their voices. This is a challenging situation for me to decide where I want to spend the rest of my life...
