The death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, has become a symbol of resistance against the Iranian regime. Amini's arrest by the morality police in 2022 led to her death, sparking nationwide protests.

Iranians, particularly women, took to the streets, chanting 'Woman, Life, Freedom,' a rallying cry that has since become the anthem of the women's movement. Despite severe crackdowns, including house arrests and suppression of public gatherings, the protests have continued, with demonstrators demanding an end to political oppression and gender-based discrimination.

The protests have also highlighted broader issues like economic instability and the ongoing war in the Middle East. Internationally, people have shown solidarity with the Iranian movement, further amplifying its message.

Activists like Narges Mohammadi, who is currently imprisoned, have called on global organizations to take action against the systemic oppression of women in Iran. As the second anniversary of Amini's death is marked by renewed protests, her legacy continues to inspire a fight for freedom and justice.
