We explore the Iranian feminist movement known as "Woman, Life, Freedom". The movement has been met with brutal crackdowns from the Iranian government, but it has also captured the attention of the world through social media. Asma Mehan (Texas Tech University, USA) explains how this movement is using digital art, graffiti, and protests to create a physical and virtual space for women's voices to be heard. What challenges and opportunities lie ahead for this movement, and how can it inspire other feminist movements around the globe?
