Rest in peace, Tara Fares.
A famous Instagram influencer from Iraq, Tara Fares was shot and killed while driving her car in Baghdad in end September this year.
She was one of the few influencers based in Iraq to consistently voice out her opinions against domestic abuse, and she loved wearing bright colors and some western outfits, thus gaining many haters for her less conservative thinking, which was also believed to be one of the main reasons there were threats to her life.
I had just known about her today, but what a wonderful life, even if it was short lived. She was a woman who made a stand and live how she wanted to, and enjoyed it despite knowing all the dangers.
I hope girls don’t feel afraid after seeing this. Do not deactivate your Instagram account, post more, let your voices be heard, and break more walls so none of our sisters’ lives will end in vain.
Every human is born from a mother, a woman herself, without us everything ceases to exist. We are not just born to be in servitude nor should we feel powerless. We deserve freedom, peace and happiness.
