The Daily Populous Friday December 28th, 2018 morning edition
One year ago, this brave woman, Vida Movahed, removed her hijab in one of the busiest streets in Iran and started a movement against compulsory hijab that's still going strong today
I really admire her bravery. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live in a theocracy. Realistically how far away is Iran away from women being able to not wear the hijab if that’s what they want? I understand that’s an incredibly difficult to predict but are we talking a generation away?

She was arrested on the spot for this along with her 19-month-old baby. Her bravery, however, was inspiration for many others to do the same.

Is she alive ?
Btw completely support the movement! I really do hope women get equal rights.
