Brave Iranian women continue to fight for basic human rights. Large public protests have ebbed for now but smaller ones continue.
Last week I wrote about renewed efforts by the morality police in Iran against women who do not comply with hijab laws. Since the death of a 22-year-old college student, Mahsa Amini, in September 2022, protests have erupted and the Woman, Life, Freedom protest movement began in Iran. Women and girls were joined by men as they protested the cruelty and restrictions women face in their everyday lives. Amini was beaten by the morality police for not properly wearing a hijab in public and then arrested. She died in jail from her injuries.

This is Tehran, Iran.
After over 40 years of restrictions, women are declaring enough is enough! They’re dancing…
