On Monday night, August 25, 2025, a group of female students at Shiraz University staged a protest in response to ongoing water and power outages in their dormitories.
The demonstration, which lasted well past midnight, quickly evolved into an anti-government rally as female students at Shiraz University chanted slogans demanding their basic rights.
Protesters chanted:
- “Students, raise your voice, demand your rights!”
- “Students may die but will never accept humiliation!”
- “Water, electricity, life — these are our basic rights!”
The protest reflects mounting discontent among Iran’s youth, particularly female students, who have long endured discrimination, pressure, and harsh living conditions in academic and dormitory environments.
The message to authorities was clear: resolve the ongoing crisis of power and water outages — or face growing public anger.
