Is hijab really forced on Iranian women? Is it oppression, or liberation? In this video, I break down the history of covering in Iran—from pre-Islamic Persia to Reza Shah’s forced unveiling, including the Goharshad Mosque massacre, to the democratic process that restored hijab after the 1979 revolution. I also compare the psychological effects of hijab versus Western beauty standards, and I address Western women directly with a question that might change their perspective. If you want to understand the real story behind hijab, this video is for you.
