The ongoing yearning for freedom by Iranian women erupted after the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, 2022, by the Morality Police in Tehran. This incident sparked spontaneous protests throughout Iran which is a reflection of a decades-long desire for freedom and automony in this Islamic regime by Iranian women. Now they are demanding sweeping changes in Iran and are committed to having their voices heard despite the intensely violent reaction of the Iranian government.
