She's one of the many women imprisoned in Iran. Be her voice today. We remember you, Yasaman." "It was International Women’s Day 2019 when Yasaman and her mother took off their headscarves and walked through a women-only train carriage in Tehran, handing out flowers. Yasaman spoke of her hopes for a future when all women would have the freedom to choose what to wear, “me without the hijab and you with the hijab.” After a video of this went viral, Yasaman was arrested and charged with “inciting and facilitating corruption and prostitution" through promoting “unveiling.” - Amnesty Yasaman fights for you. Fight for her.Disclaimer: Amnesty and Change participate in Female-Erasure, but they are the only petitions available.
