About This Trend
The trend refers to the Iranian protests led by students against the government's hijab laws.
According to BBC News, the protests began after a video went viral showing a school principal physically confronting a girl who was not wearing a hijab. The video sparked widespread outrage and calls for reform, with many Iranians taking to social media to share their own stories of harassment and discrimination. The protests have gained momentum, with thousands of demonstrators gathering in cities across Iran, calling for greater freedom and autonomy. Protesters have been met with force by security forces, leading to injuries and arrests.
