Her presence has been met with a wave of criticism on social media, with many users criticizing her for not using this international platform to voice the problems and concerns of women and children in Iran.

Presence at a Global Event
The Venice Festival, being one of the oldest and most prestigious film festivals in the world, provides a suitable opportunity to draw global attention to the social and cultural issues of countries. Laleh Marzban's presence at this festival could have been a golden opportunity to express the concerns of the Iranian people. However, it seems she focused more on her personal and professional aspects rather than addressing these issues.
The criticism of Laleh Marzban is not limited to social media; even some artists and social activists have not remained indifferent to this matter. They have pointed out how an artist can be the voice of their people in such events and help facilitate positive changes.
Future and Consequences
Ultimately, this criticism could impact Laleh Marzban's future and her artistic career. In today's world, where media and social networks play a crucial role in shaping public opinion, artists and famous figures must consider how they can leverage their positions to promote and support social issues.
Despite the criticism, Laleh Marzban still has the opportunity to learn from these experiences and play an effective role as a responsible artist in voicing social problems and challenges. We hope that she and other artistic figures can use international platforms to portray the harsh realities of society and draw attention to the issues faced by women and children in Iran.
