Jina Mahsa Amini's death ignited a pivotal protest movement in Iran, as anger over her treatment translated into widespread demands for freedom and justice.
The regime responded to protests with severe crackdowns, where at least 500 individuals lost their lives and over 20,000 were detained, showing the regime's desperation to maintain control.
Women, especially younger generations in urban areas, are increasingly defying the hijab mandate, symbolizing a growing rejection of oppressive norms and a bold claim to personal freedom.
Iranian journalist Hedieh Kimiaee emphasized that the anger among women, unleashed by Amini's killing, has turned into a sustained struggle against compulsory dress codes, which they refuse to accept.
