Iran's discrimination against women is clearly something that has provoked a serious backlash from Iranian women, and I think you've highlighted exactly one such incident when, on December 27, a woman, Vida Movahed, waved her white hijab from a stick on a busy Tehran street and she was arrested. She was a 31-year-old mother. That gesture went viral on social media. Many other Iranian women and men actually followed her lead in removing their hijabs. Since then Iranian authorities have arrested 30 women for refusing to wear the hijab in public.
In April there was a particularly notorious video that went viral that showed Iran's Basij, their domestic morality police, assaulting a woman whose head scarf only loosely covered her hair. I think what was reaffirming about this was the widespread outrage to this social media video from Iranians, women and men, not only in Iran but outside and worldwide.
