Videos showing women burning the hijab are being posted on social media in solidarity with a protest movement against enforced headscarf in Iran.
Posted online with the hashtag #NoHijabDay, a response to last week's World Hijab Day event, the videos show women removing their headscarves and setting them on fire in front of the camera.
It comes as the Iranian government released a report showing that half of the population do not believe that the state should dictate what women wear, despite dozens of arrests this month.

they don't toe the line on abortion, gay rights, civil right
I have a co-worker who's from Iran. He said there are always some women who are protesting wearing the hijab, but most prefer it. For the one's who like the hijab it's a familiar symbol of their culture and heritage.

Sometimes westerner's should try not being so fucking arrogant, and assuming motives for a culture we know nothing about.

That's not the problem at all, the problem are those that don't want to wear it, even if it is just 20%, being severely abused (in extreme cases killed) because of their decision. If the rest wants to wear it no problem at all. The issue is the mandate.

The hijab is just a fashion statement as long as no one is forced to wear it.
It becomes a symbol of oppression the moment wearing it becomes a requirement.
Exactly 0 Persian women out of ca. 50 I know wear hijab here in US
