“They have been ignored for years and years,” she said. “That is why they are angry. Iranian women are furious now.” “Let me make it clear that Iranian women who are facing guns and bullets right now in the streets, they’re not protesting against compulsory hijab like just a small piece of cloth. Not at all," she said.
“It was not easy to put it away, like overnight," she said. “It took three years for me, even outside Iran, to take off my hijab."
