"How western media spread ignorance globally"

"Many of the questions she fields about Iran, she says, reveal a profound ignorance about Iranian society. "The questions are mostly based on very wrong information." For the most part, Motlaq finds this lack of knowledge astonishing. "We live in a time where accessing news and information is very easy," she says. "We should think about how there is this kind of ignorance despite ease of information." "She recognizes that women around the world face different challenges based on where they live, but she is passionate about portraying these women accurately, through projects such as the Islamic fashion and "I Want to Dance" series. "It's sad that when I talk to people, I have to start with very basic information: Yes, women in Iran drive, work, and study in universities." " (thanks Amir)
