She addressed the men saying:
"If you men do not have the courage to give the oppressors their due punishment, if you are afraid to cut off the hands of thieves and plunderers from your wealth, honor, and homeland, then put our women’s chadors on your heads, sit quietly in a corner of your homes, and don’t talk about manhood and masculinity. We will fight the oppressors in your place."
