Product Description
On
December 27, 2017, Vida Movahed,, an
Iranian woman, stood in the crowd on a utility box in the Enghelab Street (Revolution Street) of Tehran,
Iran, removed the headwear that
all Iranian women are required by law to wear, tied her hijab, a white
headscarf, to a stick, and waved it to the crowd as a flag. Her message is clear. Iranian women want to choose whether they
wear the hijab or not. She was arrested
on that day and found guilty of encouraging "public corruption". Vida Movahed, became known as the 'Girl of Enghelab Street".
Other young women, individually
and in small groups, began to follow suit, posting their
pictures on social media and generating new hashtags in Farsi and in
English. One of those hashtags which translates to
#girls-enghelab-street. Three
have reportedly been sentenced to two years in prison and some others are
believed to have left the country. The movement Vida Movahed
inspired was soon dubbed "The Girls of Revolution Street."
