A former columnist for TIME Magazine, Azadeh Moaveni, acknowledged women’s role in the protests in Iran that became a global movement and said,<\/p>\n

These younger women are now in the streets. The movement they\u2019re leading is educated, liberal, secular, raised on higher expectations, and desperate for normality: college and foreign travel, decent jobs, rule of law, access to the Apple Store, a meaningful role in politics, the freedom to say and wear whatever.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Murder of Mahsa Amini<\/h3>\n

The incident took place on 13 September 2021 when Mahsa Amini, a native of Saghez, Iran, traveled to Tehran. It was supposed to be a fun trip but it ended up costing her her life. Mahsa Amini was with her brother, Kiarash, at the entrance to the Shahid Haghani Expressway when the \u2018morality police\u2019 came and arrested her for a one-hour \u2018re-education class\u2019.<\/p>\n
