JIN JIYAN AZADI

DECEMBER 2022

 What began as a movement for women’s rights slowly turned into a nationwide revolt against the government in Iran.

From songs on freedom and reels of women cutting their hair as a symbol of resistance to Iranian FoodTok – young people have been instrumental in amplifying the stories of Iran. By participating in what will someday be dubbed the Gen-Z revolution, the Iranian diaspora in New York is persistently pushing for policy changes and hoping to receive global support in recognition of a new republic of Iran. 

Why and how are Iranians in New York affected? What is at stake for those who live in this country, and what do they hope to achieve through these protests? Iranian Americans share their stories.
