If you want women to be free hit the like button and share this important documentary! For more than 30 years, since the Iranian Revolution, women in Iran have been required to wear a headscarf in public at all times. Those who don't can be detained by the morality police, fined or imprisoned. In spite of that, thousands of Iranian women are posting photos of themselves in public without a hijab, as part of a campaign called “My Stealthy Freedom" founded by Masih Alinejad. Masih Alinejad is an Iranian political journalist, TV presenter, women's rights activist and author of The Wind in My Hair. In 2014, she founded the "My Stealthy Freedom" campaign against compulsory hijab. Masih was a parliamentary journalist in Tehran, where she exposed corruption among the lawmakers and, in 2009, she was forced to flee Iran. Alinejad focuses on criticism of Iranian Islamofascism, especially in women's rights. She now lives in exile in New York City, and has won several awards, including a human rights award from UN Watch's 2015 Geneva Summit for Human Rights, the Omid Journalism Award from the Mehdi Semsar Foundation, and a "Highly Commended" AIB Media Excellence Award. “If you want to be a free woman in Iran, you have to break the law every day,” says Masih Alinejad.
