Casually walking in Tehran

Iranian Women Post Pics With Their Hair Flying Free To Protest Strict Hijab Laws
Wearing the Islamic hijab veil is mandatory for women in Iran, and in 2014, Iran's morality police warned, fined or arrested 3.6 million women for inappropriate dress. Masih Alinejad, an Iranian journalist and activist living in the U.S., wants to change this, and she's started by inviting Iranian women to send in pictures of themselves enjoying their unveiled hair.
Alinejad makes her points beautifully in an interview with Vox; "My mother wants to wear a scarf. I don't want to wear a scarf. Iran should be for both of us." 


"whatever women with hijab say, that they wear it by their own choice, i believe it has been imposed on them by men. In fact they were forced and brainwashed by men so much , that now they think they do it out of their own choice." emm. I live in Russia. My father and mother and husband and sometimes governs are against my hijab. Many of my friends were oppressed because of hijab. But still it's our choice. For me it's more than a piece of fabric. No matter what they say and what you say



“The solution to women’s issues can only be achieved in a free and democratic society in which human energy is liberated, the energy of both women and men together. Our civilization is called human civilization and is not attributed only to men or women.”
