Ordinary Iranian women created a Facebook page called stealthy freedom or secret freedom.
Islamic Revolution started 35 years ago. Since then it has been illegal for a woman to leave the house without wearing a hijab or headscarf. The punishment is a fine or imprisonment.
An Iranian woman said, “My hair was like a hostage to the government.” It is so true.
“My problem is not having to wear the headscarf. My problem is not having a choice,” writes another Iranian woman on the Facebook page.
I say bravo girls, you go girls! You take off your hijab forever, not for a few seconds. Not secretly, but openly. But would they be able to do it? So many girls and women are executed in Iran for not practicing Islam properly.
I feel so sad. Women, only because they are women, they are not allowed to enjoy the rights and freedom they deserve. Women have to take off their hijabs only for a few seconds to know what freedom feels like. Human species sucks. It has not yet made its women free from the cage it has made for women. I am ashamed of human species.
I thought it was quite nice to see (presumably) Iranian women in “Western” football fan outfits during the World Championship (see e.g. here http://english.alarabiya.net/en/variety/2014/06/18/Iranian-women-at-World-Cup-spark-social-media-jibes.html).
Women
Not only Hijab, but shed all your clothes to enjoy your freedom.
Very appropriate name, kid.
Why do some American men who post on here act like what Taslima writes is a big JOKE!? These are serious issues that women and girls have to deal with every day of their lives. How would YOU men like to be forced to wear a hijab in the heat, every night and day?! Yes, it should be a choice for women to makeif they want to cover themselves or not. Unfortunately, they don’t have that choice and the freedoms that we have here in America. That is WRONG. And it wouldn’t matter if females wore a paper bag over their heads, and poked two eyeholes in them. Men would STILL find a sick way of being turned on by these women! They’re blaming females for their sick, disgusting minds….put the blame where it belongs —on MEN!
Question: if a woman shaves her head or loses all her hair for some reason, does she still have to wear the scarf?
