Iran's Hijab Protests Highlight Ongoing Women's Rights Struggles
Four years after the hijab protests in Iran, experts at the Women of the State conference discussed the ongoing challenges faced by women under the Iranian regime. The protests, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, have evolved into a broader movement for human rights and freedom of expression. Despite the regime's attempts to use women in propaganda, the protests continue to highlight the oppressive conditions faced by women. Experts noted that the regime's use of women in pro-government propaganda, often without hijabs, reflects a deeper societal struggle for rights and recognition.
