## Resource

In Iran, women are boldly rejecting the mandatory hijab—even in places where it was once rare—risking fines, arrest, or jail to reclaim their freedom. Sparked by economic collapse and fueled by the brutal crackdown on January protests, this defiance is a powerful symbol of resistance. Young Iranians, some who witnessed classmates killed, see removing the hijab as both an act of survival and a declaration for a freer, more just future. Despite a fragile U.S.-Iran deal and a ceasefire, many feel the regime’s fear and repression remain, and the world still underestimates the depth of their trauma and resolve.
