Just reading/watching about the tragic death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest for incorrectly wearing the hijab. These women are so incredibly brave.

"Anti-government protests are taking place across Iran following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini on 16 September. Amini was detained in Tehran by a paramilitary unit that enforces Islamic dress codes after she reportedly didn’t wear the hijab correctly. She fell into a coma under unknown circumstances while in custody and later died, prompting outrage at religious police and security forces. However, despite its scale, analysts and diplomats are doubtful that the protests will lead to any significant change."

Both weeping seeing this documentary and knowing nothing has changed for those women despite so many of them and men being killed by the regime. The world is a horrible place for women especially in Iran and Afghanistan, but not only those countries as we know. Solidarity with all those fighting the patriarchy. Brave brave women.
