Afghan women took to the streets with the slogan “Iran has risen, now it’s our turn”.
After Amsterdam, Athens, and the UK, the unrest in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini, women in Afghanistan protested in front of the Iranian Embassy to show their support for the women in Tehran.
The Islamic Emirate’s deputy spokesperson stated that the ruling government is committed to ensuring women’s rights, based on Islamic values.
The protesters yelled, “women, life, and freedom.”
Women said that they are raising voices like Mahsa. There have been similar victims in Afghanistan.
In Iran, several women took the stage to protest the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, who died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly wearing an “improper hijab” in violation of the country’s dress codes for women.
The suspicious death sparked outrage among hundreds of people worldwide.
The women were seen cutting their hair and burning their hijab in an attempt to draw attention to Amini’s death.
Amini’s death comes amid mounting criticism both inside and outside Iran over the deputy team’s actions. Her death represents the terrible tyranny women have endured for decades in Iran
The mandatory dress code requires women to cover their heads and necks with a veil and applies to all countries and religions, not just Iranian women, TAM reported.
A similar situation exists in Afghanistan, a country where women also fight for rights. It is considered the most unhappy nation in the world.
Since the Taliban took over, the country has struggled with gender-based violence, including no permits for women, no education after sixth grade, etc.
