Ep. 679 – 3 reasons you should care about the protests in Iran

podcast September 26, 2022

Background
share close
Nationwide protests in Iran are now nearing their second week and they are centered, in great part, around something very familiar to us here in the United States – police brutality and mass incarceration – and the death of a young woman in police custody.

We’ve seen that our whole lives here in the US – and today I want to unpack and explain 3 reasons why I think we should care about these injustices happening in Iran – as police now shoot, kill, injure, arrest, and detain protestors all over Iran as protests continue to grow and spread.

At the root, are women’s rights and human rights – and whether or not women in Iran have the legal right to choose if they want to wear hijabs and other restrictive clothing.
