My god, the way some people actually managed to make iran's problems about themselves is outstanding.
I'm sorry that women in the west face harassment for hijab. But this has nothing to do with iran, our issues are actually going viral and they just..discuss a different topic? Many women were beaten,killed,jailed for not wanting to wear something that was forced on them 40 years ago and so many people including children were murdered for fighting against it and you just bring up women's struggles in first world countries?! I'm not saying that we shouldn't talk about them,every single issue deserves to be acknowledged; but we should NOT compare these two things at all,they're completely different

"Women in Iran are taking off their headscarves and cutting their hair to protest the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.
Amini died in a Tehran hospital on Friday after being arrested by Iran's Islamic morality police on Tuesday on suspicion of not correctly wearing a hijab — a head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women and is mandatory in Iran — according to reports. 
Tehran police said Amini was arrested for the purpose of "justification and education" about the hijab, and told her family she died of a "sudden" heart attack. Her family say she had no known heart conditions, and witnesses said they saw police beating her up inside a van, according to BBC News.
On September 18, the day of Amini's funeral, protests erupted in Iran, with women removing their headscarves and waving them in the air to protest the hijab-wearing rules that led to the arrest of the 22-year-old."

Interview with Nele, Nika Shakarami’s girlfriend by Zeit Magazine
‘‘Nika loved the moon, and it became an important symbol in their relationship, says Nele. When they missed each other, they would say: "We don’t live in the same country, but beneath the same sky." Sometimes, Nika would tell Nele over the phone that she was looking at the moon, saying: You should go outside too, Nele, so we can look at it together. They even called each other "my moonie." Or Niki and Neli. Or Haku and Chihiro, like the main characters in the anime film "Spirited Away," which both of them loved. The story involves a courageous boy helping a shy girl escape a world full of monsters. "That was us," Nele says today‘‘
Nika Shakarami was a 16 year old brave Iranian girl who was kidnapped by the police during the ongoing protests in Iran, brutally tortured, raped and murdered in cold blood. Her burial was on her birthday. Say her name, Nika Shakarami

A quick update on what's been going on in Iran
In the last month or so, the street protests have decreased. There have been sporadic demonstrations here and there but the fire from the first three months has paled. I believe soon the fire is going to be back because the financial situation is getting worse by hour now and the regime, instead of appealing to people's good side, has been enforcing inhuman laws stronger than before.
On the 40th day memorial of 2 of the executed protesters, the fire did come back alive and there were multiple big demonstrations in many cities around Iran.
The obligatory hijab law is being enforced harsher than before. Many of my fellow iranian women still refuse to wear hijab out considering all the risks. In the last two weeks, at least two drugstores have been closed because the pharmacist owning the place refused to wear hijab. A couple of higher education students have been banned from using the national library because they took off their hijab inside of the library, and many university students have been forced to sign statements that said they promise to not take their hijab off again or else they're going to be expelled from university and they won't be able to attend any university inside of Iran again. The regime has also threatened women who don't wear hijab on the streets that they would disable their id cards and ban them from receiving social services.
A female engineer also did something really courageous in an event and I suggest you check that out. The news links are below.
More than a week before the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, there was an earthquake in Khoy, a northwestern city in Iran. Not only the Islamic Republic didn't send any help to the city, they tried so hard to stop us, people, from sending help there. They restricted some of the celebrities bank accounts and prevented people from raising money for the city. Turkey even offered their aid but the regime refused. People of other cities did send some food and clothes and blankets for the victims of the earthquake in the end. Even though the casualties of the earthquake wasn't high, many people lost their homes and had to reside in tents in cold snowy weather. But the most bewildering thing was that when the turkey earthquake happened the Islamic Republic volunteered to send help to Syria while still doing nothing for the people in Khoy. Unsurprisingly the help packages they sent to Syria didn't reach the places where earthquake happened, instead it went to Assad inventory.
Also this guy, a true hero. A human rights activist to his very core:
This is it for now. I appreciate anyone who has supported people of iran so far. We won't forget you. Woman life freedom ✌️

The UN is a fucking joke. When the US and EU want the islamic regime to stay to advance their own political goals, there's no way we could ever be able to overthrow the regime. So many people were killed, tortured and imprisoned by the Islamic regime and nothing changed. Our revolution just keeps not happening!
Please sign the petition here. I don't have any faith in the UN but I don't want to stop fighting.
