Iranian Women Are Showing Off Their Hair As An Act Of Protest
Iran, as I’m sure you know, is a country of relatively strict Islamic law. What you may not know is that, before the 1979 revolution, Iran was one of the most free and relaxed countries in the Middle East. What this means is that, while there are of course many people who enjoy and adhere to the practices and ideals of the revolution, there are still many people who would prefer the social freedoms enjoyed in other countries.
One such person is Masih Alinejad, a journalist and advocate of religious freedom and women’s rights. Growing up in Iran, Masih says that she always looked at her brother’s freedoms and wanted them for herself. In a video published by Vox she says she envied how ‘he was free to run in a green, lovely garden without a headscarf’.
Iranian law decrees that all women are to wear a hijab in public. In 2014 alone, approximately 3.6 million women were warned, fined or arrested by the morality police for breaking the strict dress code, according to Esmail Ahmadi-Maghaddam, head on the Iranian security forces.
Alinejad see the freedoms women enjoy in the United States as the freedoms that women in Iran should be enjoying. She favourites the below picture. ‘Two women with headscarves and two women without headscarves. Look at how they are free! They just, you know, walk past each other without judging each other. without getting arrested by the morality police. Isn’t that beautiful?’
In defiance of the law, Masih started to post pictures of herself without a hijab. Soon she was inundated with pictures of other women doing the same. It grew so much that she decided to start a Facebook group, My Stealthy Freedom, currently with over 886 thousands members at the time of writing.
Despite the illegality of showing your hair in Iran, many women have joined in the protest, bravely displaying their hair for everyone to see. Alinejad makes the point that, according to Iranian law, it is illegal to have the wind in your hair as a woman.
She finishes, ‘Iran is for all Iranians. Iran is me and my mother. My mother wants to wear a scarf. I don’t want to wear a scarf. Iran should be for both of us.’ Here is the video…

Tapi kalau dia percaya bahawa Allah menuntut pompuan yang diciptaNya musti menampakkan diri mereka macam hantu bungkus lantak dia lah. Jangan dia paksa orang lain semua musti ikut kepercayaan dia dah lah.
