Eli , 37-years old has shaved her hair to support Iranian women's revolution, the hairs that are around Eli are hers and some of the women’s hair around the world that have been cut to support this revolution. The mandatory Hijab law was approved in 1983 by the Islamic Republic, since then the pressure on women has intensified. After Mahsa Amini was killed by Morality Police in Tehran in September 2022 and the beginning of popular protests, many of the Iranian women cut their hair off with the slogan "Women Life Freedom" as a symbolic movement for protest and struggle. International support for this symbolic movement turned it into a common language without borders and nationality for the cry for equality and freedom for Iran.
