Bravo Brave Women!
Keep fighting to change the darkness regime of your country!!!

The Iranian people 's movement is a revolution that is evolving and developing.
The terrorist, murderous and hostage taking regime must be overthrown.

Glad they are not worried as claimed by others, about war and winter, shortages and inflation but about Iran dress code .

[seddimoussavi]

I hope the uprise of these brave Iranians wont be stolen by Mojahedin who are the organizers of the demonstrations in Iran. The are a very dangerous political group. Is time for Iranians inside the country to stand up with Iranian Shir Khorshid flag. God bless Iran and Iranian.

How about the Hands Off Assange Rally in DC? Or is freedom of Press not important to you msm?

[davidnelson]

In this life all I need

is the freedom to be who I am as a woman, and not who society wishes me to be.

A woman of strength, dignity, and intelligence,

not hiding behind products that read: Unconfined.

With the ability to speak

words that make leaders tremble in their seats,

not the hush mouthed girl who sits properly.

But the one who stands in front of a nation,

and preaches peace on earth between all of the races.

Or to have a heart that travels across vast lands,

to feed the poor dying in hunger and exercise goodwill to all men.

All I need is the ability to achieve all that I dream,

for as a woman there was a time where I was told I could not do anything.

But as society evolved and feminine pioneers stood tall,

I gained the right to choose which path I will take, if not all.

All I need is the courage to face all who are against me,

and wish to tear me down because of my genetic identity.

To prove that I am more than just a pretty face,

I hold a mind so educated it is hard to keep with my pace.

So if there is one thing I have that is timeless,

it is the right to be a Woman,

which is ultimately.. Priceless.

Giving women basic freedoms and equal rights is not enough. Iran should also end its Persian chauvinism, assimilation, and oppression policies when it comes to non-Persians. An estimated 35 millions of Azerbaijani Turks live in Iran. They are prohibited from getting their education in native language. Ignoring the rights of other ethnicities will definitely tear apart the country and may lead to separatist demands accompanied with bloodshed and ethnic conflicts.

The Iranian government needs to give women more religious rights to wear the hijab.

[Divedown_]

Like this will change anything in Iran?

[Zumitv-cg]

People everywhere speaking up for Iranian women, but when women were forced to take off the Hijjab in France, Belgium and India, there was complete silence. BE HONEST. Do you really support the freedom of choice to wear whatever they want, or does this just fit your agenda? @Hijjab studios

[lastsolfa]

Terrible choice of videos from the protests. Like horrendous journalism

[mahdia]

Show me a corner of European protests😛
