Malala Yousafzai is highlighting the significance of not policing women’s attire in the wake of protests that broke out in every country, with women removing and burning hijabs in response to the murder of Iranian lady Mahsa Amini.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner pointed out that forcing women to remove their hijabs is problematic in the same way that forcing them to wear one is.
After Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman, was detained by Tehran’s “Morality Police” for reportedly wearing a “improper” hijab, protests broke out in Iran and throughout the world. She allegedly suffered abuse in the police van and was unconscious when transported to a hospital. She never recovered and died while in police custody.
