New Facebook movement from Iran, Stealthy Freedoms of Iranian Women

Since the early days of Iranian revolution and the new restrictions which was imposed on women clothing by the government, the Iranian women has never given up. Unlike Iranian men, the brave Iranian women never gave up in front of radical religious authorities which were afraid of their freedom. Recently Iranian women has started a new movement publishing their photos without Hijab on Facebook (click to see the page) :) This is a part of the 30 years old battle of Iranian women against forced Hijab ... This is a report from Yahoo UK on this matter

Funny thing is that on the other hand in some countries in Europe where freedom is supposed to be respected, some women can not wear Hijab at work. I have lived more than 20 years of my life in Iran under restrictions from a conservative government. What I've learned is that never press minorities for their believes. So although I don't believe in Hijab, I think it is wrong to ban people from harmless actions like covering their hair because of their believes.
