The feminist movement in Iran during the protests over the death of Jina Mahsa Amini: intersectional approaches

Abstract

The death of Yina Mahsa Amini at the hands of the Morale Police in September 2022 in Tehran sparked a wave of protests where women acquired an unprecedented role. Various analysts have considered that the protests have taken on an unusual feminist claim in Iran. We can consider that the new technologies have made the fourth wave of feminism penetrate the country, especially among the youth, making the claimed feminism intersectional in nature. But some consider that other types of oppression have been ignored. We believe that although both positions are true, the protests constitute a precedent in the history of Iranian civil society with possible future repercussions.
