On September 13, 2022, the Islamic Republic regime of Iran’s morality police murdered 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody for not wearing the hijab in accordance with government standards. Her death sparked a wave of protests that quickly spread across nation. As a result, women started to remove their scarves while screaming, “Woman, Life, Freedom”; to let the wind blow into their hair, creating a massive tornado taking over the long years of patriarchy and violence forced by the Islamic regime.
