Woman, Life, Liberty: What does Iran’s movement mean for global democracy? 

In 1979, the Iranian people were chanting in the streets “Death to America.” Today, they’re chanting “Death to the dictator” and demanding democracy. At the forefront of this historic movement are the women of Iran who have consistently resisted the regime’s tyranny from the start. They don’t object to the hijab itself; they object to not having the right to choose whether to wear it.

Iranians need the support of the international community and the US, but the democratic world, too, needs Iranians to succeed to bolster the cause of democracy everywhere.
