Year: 2019

Girls of Revolution Street From the heart of the 2018 protests, there emerged a powerful and influential movement against the hijab and the Islamic Republic that came to be known as the “Girls of Revolution Street”. Vida Movahed was the first woman who removed her hijab and put it on a stick. Many women followed her example and society warmly welcomed it. It’s quite evident that the Islamic Republic is losing the battle over the hijab. The authorities themselves speak of the “decline of the hijab”.
