This article by Johnny Harris is about Iranian journalist and advocate Masih Alinejad. Alinejad is the founder and moderator of the facebook group My Stealthy Freedom. With more than 800,000 followers the groups helps Iranian women from around the globe free themselves from strict government laws by removing their headscarves in public as quiet protest. The article contains a historical information as well as a short clip about Alinejad’s story. How is this protest effective even though it is quiet? How do you think this perspective challenges the cultural norms? Looking at the women who support hijab wearing for themselves but say it should be a choice, does this give women hope for the future?
