According to the interview, Khadem is now settling in well with her family at an undisclosed location. She is learning the Spanish language and has enrolled at a university, and her son is happy. But her mind is still very much on Iran: “I want to think that one day everything will change. It all started because of the women, but some men are fighting back too. There are many of us who are in this together.” Speaking to Chess.com, IM Khadem said: “About Elle, I must say their team were so great that they made the whole thing so magical.” Khadem has said she intends to return to competition soon. She will be welcomed there also.
