Watching this video broke me. It brought back the painful memories of my childhood in Iran. I cried seeing that little girl bullied by her principal, forced to put on her compulsory veil over and over again, with no mercy. This isn’t just about a piece of cloth; it’s about how young girls, as early as 7, are subjected to control, humiliation, and abuse by those meant to protect them. For 40 years, we, the women of Iran, have lived this nightmare. When I started to share the stories of these girls living under the Islamic laws on “My Stealthy Freedom” and “ White Wednesdays” campaign against compulsory hijab, I was dismissed as Islamophobic in the West many times. But look closely at the fear in the girl’s face, the anger, the frustration. This is not a cultural issue, it’s apartheid against women. The regime believe that if a young girl doesn’t cover her hair, she could arouse men, an insult to men, too. This system is designed to oppress, control, and strip women of their rights, dignity, and childhood. This is the reality we face in Iran. Let talk. Let us be heard. #MyCameraIsMyWeapon #LetUsTalk
