If these men can’t control themselves if they see hair or a knee or shoulder, they shouldn’t be allowed to be leading anything, shouldn’t be in charge, or shouldn’t make rules or decide basic decisions on anything at all. The hypocrisy is ridiculous. I’m so sorry for the protesters, I hope their deaths won’t be in vain. ❤
A patriarchal society with religion. Human rights doesn't even exist in such society. Male objectify female and most of those in power have no intention to change the situation because they are all man and benefits from this inequality. I do not know if this will ever end, I only believe one thing: if you can't control your limbs, you need and amputation, including the one that they can't control when they see a female
Nothing to do with being able to control yourself. It is about not provoking others with your body, so that all people in the society can be respected as an individual not as an object for pleasure. It is like prohibiting using drug in public places. Those who live in western country can attest how usual for a woman to be harass by men. It is the nature of humans and yes many men can control themselves but it increase their desire to seek other girls and betray their family. This is a rule to protect the family and women.
I have been thinking it since my childhood. I was thinking all the time why these restriction? why women can not take breath freely? why i can not feel the fresh air in directly my skin? why my hair can not blow with the wind freely? If women are not safe where men also stays then man are not being human! they are like monstar, or they are monstar! why we can not being human together! As if they are hunter and we can die anytime by them. It feels like being a women is a crime, or born as a girl is totally crime. It feels like I hate my life because its a girl life, its a women life, its not a human life. Thank you, maam. Here I am not alone, now I am feeling my thinking is not wrong. Love from Bangladesh.

I support the freedom of Iranian women, they deserve more to get more quality of life and of course, they were able to get their rights to "the best way to change their lives for the shining future".
Such an awesome, inspiring, and admirable speech. You’re so brave, thoughtful, and I just love the way you expressed emotions and opinions about these hot issues. Always advocate for women’s rights!
It is not fair that she says these sophacating rules were written by men , while our men are being tortured by these inforcements either. And ; of course , we see lots of women belonging to the regime belief category that misbehave against other wemon for their wearing and hiaab.
I've read Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis but haven't learned much about what has been going on in modern-day Iran and the same civil rights atrocities take place; this video will be keeping me invested in this issue today; thanks for sharing your voice and empowering others, good luck and you have mine and so many other's support in the fight for women's rights
On behalf of men all over the world, I can only apologise for the utter stupidity of some men. Look at the achievements humanity has made over the last 2000 years. Then think how far we could have come if women were allowed to be free to choose. Choose their education, occupation, attire, whether or not they wish to marry or have children or not. I agree with "Woman, Life, Freedom"
@@jonijokunen3542 Men played a crucial role in all aspects of civilization, such as building infrastructure, defending communities, and contributing to technological advancements. It is essential to acknowledge men's sacrifices and contributions instead of placing blame or apologizing. There has not been a better time in the history of humanity to be a woman.
I support the women of Iran. But apologising for men as a group? That's misandrist. Not all men are sexist pigs so don't act like we are and need to be apologised for.
@@llvlletal3oy What are you on about? I'm not denying any of that. All I'm saying is that we should not be forcing women to wear cloth bags, decide their career for them or consider them our property. We should treat them as equals. Is that too much for your ego?
People of the world ,being born in Iran was not our choice ,but us with the help of you can survive and gain freedom -ask your poltication to isolate and never have fair connection and relationship with Iranian poltication - we ( ordinary people) feel heavy sanctions from world especially USA but politicians and thier children not ,they easily travel to your countries enjoy every thing you have ,educate in best colleges you have and your government doesn't do any thing It's up to you to end this funny show Pressurise your government to end these funny show - we need internet connection , every thing is blocked in Iran (right now I'm using VPN to write this message for you)
Effective communication, well informed decisions and self empowerment is above self harming and victimhood mentality in today's advanced world specially for youths who get carried away in all types of protests. Do women and men do the same for domestic violence, ethnophobia or unreported assault in workplaces anywhere in the world? Assault on any one out of discrimination is assault. Life and freedom is for all humanity and non-discriminatory by design.

As a black person who has experienced oppression first-hand and has many Iranian friends, I connected with the struggle when Mahsa Amini died. Unfortunately, I have also encountered some highly educated Iranians who are supportive of the oppressive regime in their country. But we will not be silenced, injustice anywhere is injustice against all.
The actresses in Hollywood and ALL American newsmedia anchorwomen/pundits from BOTH sides SHOULD shave their heads to raise money and awareness for freedom and equality for women. That's exactly what they claim they want. Shaving their heads and then going to their jobs in front of the camera like men do every day... they'd show mental toughness, equality and sincerity. They'd make money from the ratings going through the roof...
Thank you, for speaking up for us once again. But slogans don't help us. Most countries, including the US, limit their relations with Iran, which puts pressure on the Iranian people. We can't work with many European countries or American companies, and we don't have access to many websites. Other countries don't have these problems. We need a change in the world's policy towards Iran. We don't have anything to do with the statesmen. We've grown up with memories of the past and pressures from outside, like sanctions that only affect the Iranian people, not those who live outside of Iran.
To determine if belief systems are wholesome or pernicious, examine their practical effect. If religion is judged by its end results, then Islam is the worst major religion. How so? Very simple. Out of the billions of Muslims in the world (living or dead), NOT A SINGLE MUSLIM has made any original contribution to any aspect of MODERN science or indeed any other empirical branch of knowledge IN THE MODERN ERA (The modern era started in 1500). If there were only Muslims in the world, we could not have this online interaction. Islamic backwardness is almost incredible because Persians & North Africans used to be far ahead of the West and only became backward once Islam became entrenched. By 1500, Mohammed's poison had brought the "golden age" of the Muslim world to a complete halt. On the other hand, the West which used to lag behind them became synonymous with modern civilization during the Christian era. I do not claim to fully understand why Islam has such a catastrophic effect, but it may have to do with the so-called FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAMIC RETROGRESSION: 1/ SHARIA: (especially 3 aspects of the Sharia - Polygamy, Subjugation of women, & Second-Class citizenship of non-Muslims). Each of these 3 aspects is disastrous. Polygamy distracts men, discounts women, and divides children. Female subjugation renders half the population impotent (if Marie Curie had been a Moslem, we would have no X-Ray in any hospital!). The practical effect of the enforced Second-Class citizenship of non-Muslims is that Islamic nations can never have true peace. 2/ MOHAMMED'S EXAMPLE: There is a great difference between Christian iniquity and Muslim iniquity. The Christian is disobeying the example and teaching of Christ, and so can be called to repentance. On the contrary, when Muslims engage in slavery, rape, murder, genocide, pedophilia, looting, oppression, feudalism, forced conversion, honor-killing, fascism, intentional deceit (taqiya), etc they are following the personal and repeated example of Muhammed and so cannot repent, because there is no higher standard to hold before them. That difference is at the heart of the problem with Islam. 3/ ISLAMIC FATALISM DISCOURAGES PROACTIVENESS 4/ ISALMIC LOW VIEW OF HUMANITY: Islam rejects the three key doctrines of Christianity which have the indirect effect of raising human dignity, namely: (a) The Fatherhood of God (b) The Incarnation of Christ (c) The In-dwelling of the Holy Spirit 5/ REJECTION OF THE CROSS - Therefore, no theological basis for God-man or man-man reconciliation (necessary for peace and harmony).
Both the country is referred to are extreme on this issue. One leading to oppression and feeling of being in chain and the other in LGBT, increase in divorce, son and daughter without father or mother.
In almost all Muslim countries they treat children and women as objects or as animals for training. They should try a little staying in the place to see if it's any good
@@kzandcoonline everything they're doing to Iranian people is in the name of Islam. I don't wanna talk about if a certain religous is good or bad but they sure are tools for Iran's government and lots of other countries to control people however they want to

Как же это похоже на то, что происходит в России. Очень сочувствую женщинам Ирана, всему населению Ирана. У на не дошло до казней, но как много у нас смертей случилось в тюрьмах и на свободе. Это ужасно, свободу нашим странам от диктаторов, от угнетения, от тупости и пропаганды..
You may think 9 is too young to be a woman, too young to "arouse the men". But remember the profit Muhammad's 3rd wife Aisha was 9 when Muhammad consummated. That's the root of that insanity.
@georgevirtus It was not common to bed 9 year olds even back then. 12 - to early teens yes... but not 9 year olds. Regardless we are talking about a supposed prophet, he's supposed to be an example for all human kind yet he's bedded children.
Sorry that happened. They mustn't address the restrictive rules against women and literally everybody in the name of Islam. Islam values peace and freedom in positive way, even not just with your friends or family, but also with your "enemies". Read a story of Muhammad behaving upon Arabs sending hatred against him for instance or learn from Indonesia, the world's most Muslim population country, and Malaysia. We don't have that restrictions and we value diversity, even as for Malaysia that clearly states Islam as their official religion.
Every person can live his life according to his own way, no one can stop him.But the life of muslims is different we have to live our life with the command book of Allah and his messenger s.a.w and we are so happy and yes I am also hijabi girl I don't feel ashamed to walk with them many of my friends who don't wear hijab, I never taunt them that you don't wear hijab. let everyone live and live yourself no need for all this bullshit .
That's how it should be. Everyone should be able to choose their own way of living... but in Iran everyone is forced to follow just one certain path. And lots of people in Iran never decided to be muslims they are forced to be and you can't even change your religous. If you do, they'll hang you
Yes bro 9 year olds should definitely be considered “legal women” your god really loves 9 year olds for some reason. Makes sense since your prophet had married a 6 year old

It's your religion that is being used to dictate the country. Why did you think 9 uear olds have to cover up in the 1st place and are considered women? It's because the Prophet Muhammad bedded his 9 year old wife Aisha

Lol I don’t know; the west is going so mad with trans; I’m sure things aren’t perfect in Iran but I’d love to go over there and see it with my own eyes
@secularsekai8910 I mean judging from what I'm seeing in the video, these Iranians wouldn't hesitate to sell their mother's for a US passport. Doesn't make them right though.
Actually I do speak for most Iranians. While we have our share of mentally ill people, for the most part we are a traditional country with conservative ideologies. We value freedom but we(men and women) have dignity and would never disrespect ourselves, our race, our great history and our amazing culture by accepting the sickening ideologies that are purposely created to destroy human beings identities and enslave them.
@@bloodytanto3368 Please provide evidence you speak for most Iranians. Your own original Persian culture was colonised by Islam, and you adopted Arab dress and Arabian religious traditions and practices. It’s easy to rail against the west but many Iranians remember what Iran was like pre-1979, and there are aspects of that time - especially the freedom and the position of women in society - that modern Iranians affected by the Internet and who see beyond simple religious or conservative ideology wish to restore. Please explain how the ideologies you fear are “sickening”. That is a mere subjective statement. And again, you don’t represent Iran or Iranians.
Why do you take an anti-man approach to show men responsible for all those dictator rules of which the men themselves are victums and suffered. Why do you say that these rules were written by men? As we all know they are being written and imposed by Mullahs regime on the whole Iranian people including men and women , boys and girls.
first of all the ‘monto’ is worn over everything else, so mention them in order to not make it sound like it goes underneath the head scarf. Also it’s not needed for swimming as long as your legs, arms and head is covered! so I’m other words only hand and feet showing. I don’t support the restrictions women have in Iran but be accurate in your depiction!
Okay...Your're looking out your comfort in the world for about 100 years life, meanwhile you've lost your jannah and put you into the jahannam in the hereafter.

First and foremost,Sorry I was rude or smth like that it is my opinion. Secondly,It does not depend on men whether you wear the hijab or not You know what? you was born in Islamic Country and wearing the hijab is just one of the priority of women in Islam Actually,GOD created us in order to pray to GOD You should prey ALLAH in this life,next life of yours can be glamorous maybe in Heaven. In Islam,“The woman should not deny her husband sexual pleasure for no genuine reason.” “She should not disobey him in any way except that which runs against the will of Allah”. “She should protect herself from any illicit act as well as protect her husband's properties in the home”. The Quran explicitly states that men and women are equal in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the Quran: forbids female infanticide (practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia and other parts of the world) instructs Muslims to educate daughters as well as sons. All in all,Do you prefer temporary life or forever life in Heaven

To be honest your opinion is true only you and another people who think like you however, there are more and more people who are happy to wear hijab because thier priority is agreeing of Alloh
I support the muslims of Iran. الله أكبر Anything that is haram is protection for everyone. Hijab/ Burka / Niqab isn't a restriction for women, it is protection for them, and shows how modest they are. Christians, jews, muslims, and countless other cultures and faiths have had their own hijab, middle eastern christians, jews and muslims wear their own hijab.
