Read moreDetailsIranian women are forced to hide their hair under a hijab, but nothing can hide their resilience. Today’s Iranian women join all protests against the brutal regime. Whether they are at home, school, the workplace, or even prison, Iranian women are a leading force for change, defying hijab rules and organizing acts of civil disobedience.
Since 2009, the world has witnessed women’s pioneering role in all uprisings in Iran. Furthermore, dozens of women were slain during various uprisings, an indication of their vast participation in the protests and their leading role.
The Iranian state media have repeatedly acknowledged the leading role of Iranian women in these protests.
For more than 40 years under the mullahs’ brutal rule, Iranian women worked hard to bring about positive change. They have shown their resilience through protests, civil disobedience, and other acts of nonviolent expression. Last year alone, women participated in every protest, despite the misogynistic restrictions against them. Women in Iran and expatriate communities continue to fight against gender-based discrimination and segregation, restrictions on personal freedoms, and lack of fair access to education.
Despite these and other injustices, Iranian women continue to show their resilience. In the latest wave of protests, female political prisoners have even had the courage to defy prison security conditions, sending messages to urge others to join protests, take action, and speak out for freedom – no matter the price.
