Women, freedom, life!]
It is a protest against the oppression of women's rights in Iran.
The trigger is the mysterious death of a woman in her 20s, Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the police last month for not wearing a hijab properly in Iran.
Since then, 'haircutting' has been spreading around the world as a sign of solidarity and resistance to the oppression of women's human rights in Iran, symbolized by the hijab duty.
In France, many famous actors also participated, Juliet Binoche said "for freedom" and Marion Cotillard, "For the brave women and men of Iran." has been revealed.
