Activism
Omid's autobiography, Living In Hell, is critical of Iran and the human rights abuses occurring there. Because of this, her book's website has been the focus of online abuse and threats from computer users in Iran, Turkey and Pakistan. Omid has criticized Iran for using books to teach martyrdom to children. She also wants Iranian books to stop referring to the United States as the "Great Satan". Omid is concerned that these books may be turning children into "ticking bombs".
Currently, Omid is the Executive Director for Iran & Its Future.org, a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on advocating for the improvement of life in Iran.
