this protest is the first feminine protest during 43 years in Iran ,It shows creation of an awareness amongst Iranian women specially young generations of 70s and 80s decades, we are living in media era ,people specially women are more aware of their rights through of virtual interactions ,you can kill people ,you can shut down internet but you can not shut down awareness and wakeness amongst brave and open minded Iranian women.
As of today (29 Sep) the protest is still ongoing on the streets in various cities. but due to heavy restriction - shutdown actually- of the Internet, sending the footage of street protestors that are recorded by people is very difficult. the regime is using every mean just to repress people, Yes it's own people...
