Abstract

The article discusses the collaboration and solidarity of feminist activists in Iran following the protests across the country due to the death of 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Jina "Mahsa" Amini while in custody of the Moral Security Police in September 2022. The protesters called for state accountability and repeal of the mandatory veiling law. Also cited are the efforts by women in the country to oppose the strict dress codes imposed against them.
