Whisper it, but there’s a revolution happening in Iran. The Islamic Republic and the Ayatollah may both still be in place, but right now, away from the world’s attention, Iranian women are quietly rebelling.
On the streets of the nation’s major cities, where the regime murdered hundreds of protesters and imprisoned more than 20,000 Iranians in 2022, many girls and women are now walking without hijabs. You can see it for yourself in videos on social media: They are doing what almost anywhere else in the world is the most normal thing imaginable but in Iran is something revolutionary.
