Women, girls and students protesting in Iran
Protests by women and girls are growing in Iran. They began after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September. She was killed for removing her headscarf in public. Her death started protests around Iran. Hundreds of thousands of women in the streets, on buses and in schools are copying Mahsa's actions. They are sending a message to Iran's leaders. Many burnt their scarves and cut their hair. They march chanting "women, life, freedom". |
