This little girl was forced to wear hijab to go to school in Iran. Her mum told me she still didn’t get used to it & still hates it.
I myself like millions of Iranian girls was forced from the age of 7 to wear hijab. But nobody wants to hear our stories in the 21st century.Why?

2-This is my experience with compulsory hijab
Left: The time when the Islamic Republic had taken my childhood hostage with compulsory hijab
Right: The time when I freed myself from forced hijab and reclaimed the lost years of my childhood by drawing a butterfly on my face

3-Many people believe that compulsory hijab just a small issue. But it actually isn't a "small issue".
Many of us, Iranian women, have been told from our childhood to be second class citizens, that our bodies are sinful objects, that we should hide ourselves from prying eyes

4-The Islamic Republic of Iran has written its ideology on our bodies. That's why it is the duty of every feminist in the world to loudly say no to the misogynist ideology of compulsory hijab and support our fight for freedom of choice.
5- Islamic Republic brainwashes children to think that if they didn’t wear hijab and got raped, it was the child’s fault.That is why when I launched a campaign against #TV faked my rape.
