Haleh, an Iranian woman who has lived in Britain since the age of 15, says 'our lives have changed forever' after the brutal murder of a young woman in Tehran last September.

Mahsa Amini was arrested by the Iranian morality police for wearing her hijab 'improperly', but collapsed and died in custody a few days later. Her death sparked huge international outrage and protest.
In the UK, the Iranian community continues to turn out weekly to show solidarity with the movement in Iran, spearheaded by women and teenagers, demanding fundamental rights for women and pushing for a change in Iranian leadership.
We join part of the British movement, an activist group called United4Mahsa, to see how members are showing support and spreading awareness about the situation in Iran.

India cares about irany womens rights instead of Nerbhoya,Bilkis banu,Asifa banus rights

If a woman is worth only 1/2 a man, how did that male come to be on the planet?

[@brookiecookie004]

are you being serious rn

[@j.ceasar]

@@brookiecookie004 Yes. Who birthed the man? Did a man birth the man? Did a man carry the baby for 9 months? No, women did. If anything, women are worth x2 a man.

[@crabbbycakes]

This is amazing to watch - I feel the Britney mention would actually resonate with many from this generation of Iranian women reflecting on their early years. Thank you for sharing your story and helping to shed light on the reality for so many brave Iranian women and men. I follow united4mahsa and the work you and your team are doing to amplify Iranian voices, unite the Iranian diaspora behind civilians and educate others about Iran is so courageous, determined, just phenomenal.

[@spoonfed7724]

As a man, I fully support women’s rights. It takes a small minded individual to think your better and deserve more than another human being because of your gender. It’s ridiculous.

Men in Ukraine can't leave their country legally. Society: I sleep Women in Iran can't leave the house without head covering. Society: wide awake

[@joesoy9185]

Wearing a headscarf would initially solve the problem for the ladies in Iran. Men leaving Ukraine will not solve anything at all.

[@simpdefendmlady6579]

@@joesoy9185 Improving and potentially saving their lives won't solve anything at all? Freedom and actual gender equality won't solve anything at all? Wow, just wow
