Walking in public has become a protest for a young Iranian woman who moves through Tehran’s streets without her head covering, or hijab. She is risking arrest. Iran’s morality police are looking for women like her: women who refuse to follow the rules for women’s appearance. Those rules were put in place after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. “I have to confess it is really, really scary,” the 30-year-old fire safety expert said in a WhatsApp audio message. She would not permit her name to be used because she is afraid of repercussions. But she also is hopeful. She says she believes the police and other officials find it difficult to stop the protests as more women join. “They are running after us, but cannot catch us,” she said. “This is why we believe change is going to be made.”
