New: United Nations member states have voted to remove Iran from the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.
from the Commission on the Status of Women, a significant arm of the U.N. overseen by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. The dramatic move shows the power of the ongoing protests and rebellion among Iranian women and their allies.
Protesters set their scarves on fire while marching down on Oct. 1, 2022 in Tehran, Iran. Protests over the death of 22-year-old Iranian Mahsa Amini have continued to intensify despite crackdowns by the authorities. As my stomach churns with every thought, I aimlessly scroll through Instagram. It really is happening! Iran is imploding. The death of the 22-year-old Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, at the hands of the “morality police” hasn’t just sparked spontaneous protests—it’s countrywide. Women are removing their headscarves and burning them because they are tired of being told what to do with their bodies. Men cheer them on, and some block the fists and batons crashing down on their sisters.
