IMPORTANT!! RE:IRAN

cw//women brutality, violence against women in general (if theres anything else to add let me know)

 so most of you probably dont know whats going on in iran right now, i would like to inform and spread the word because in all honesty its all i can do.

 i’ll get to the point, Mahsa Amini, 22 female, was murdered by hijab police in Iran. Her family confirmed that she was beaten by police for the crime of wearing “bad hijab”  this isnt the first time that this is happening, it absolutely disgusts me to say but many get abused and hit both physically and mentally due to not “covering up properly” and speaking up against the absolute horrid situation and rules iran have put on women. there are endless videos online showing this and blood has been long since spilled at this point. there are many protest happening as we speak.  now i am not the best at explaining the situation because i am very stressed out because of the whole trahedy and police being all around the country but there are some great threads on twt that could get you up on speed on whats happening. HUGE CW FOR THESE. IF YOUR CANNOT HANDLE TOPICS LIKE THIS PLEASE DO NOT ENGAGE WITH IT, THANK YOU  threads:  [1]    [2]    [3]  and also on bbc news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-62940907  this is not the only thing thats been happening, many others have been killed in these protests that i do not have the names of. two lgbtq+ activists have been arrested and put on a death sentence as well but i sadly do not have as much info on this as i would like to admit.  if anyone, ANYONE, wants to make a post regarding this or wants to do research and needs anything translated from persian to eng, they can contact me. there are many persian speaking people out there that would love to help and spread the word. please, be our voice. reblog, share, use the hashtags, anything would help spread the word so we arent forgotten under all of this tragedy.
