Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman, died in police custody after being arrested by Iran’s morality police. Her death ignited protests across the country, with thousands of women and girls burning their veils and cutting their hair in defiance of the regime. The unrest was met by severe crackdowns, violence and even execution.

At this one of a kind All About Women event led by host Kylie Moore-Gilbert, Iranian-Australian women Dr. Saba Vasefi, Gelareh Pour & Shokoofeh Azar give an inside look at the woman-led revolution in Iran, the power of protest, and how Australians can be allies at this incredible moment in history. 

This talk was recorded live at the Sydney Opera House in March 2023.
