Muslim women are taking off their headscarves and cutting their hair on TikTok to protest Iran's hijab rules following the death of 22-year-

Women post TikToks protesting the death of Mahsa Amini in Iranian police custody after she was detained on suspicion of breaking hijab-weari

"Women in Iran are taking off their headscarves and cutting their hair to protest the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

Amini died in a Tehran hospital on Friday after being arrested by Iran's Islamic morality police on Tuesday on suspicion of not correctly wearing a hijab — a head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women and is mandatory in Iran — according to reports. 

Tehran police said Amini was arrested for the purpose of "justification and education" about the hijab, and told her family she died of a "sudden" heart attack. Her family say she had no known heart conditions, and witnesses said they saw police beating her up inside a van, according to BBC News.

On September 18, the day of Amini's funeral, protests erupted in Iran, with women removing their headscarves and waving them in the air to protest the hijab-wearing rules that led to the arrest of the 22-year-old."

Reminder that schoolgirls in Iran are still being subjected to chemical attacks. Any ostensible slowing down had to do with the Nowruz holiday, but now that school has resumed, girls are in just as much danger as they were before.

Hello fellow Witches and Pagan,

For a while, I have been trying to connect with my southeast Asian culture (I’m from Laos 🇱🇦),) and so I have been trying to find specific witch practices from Southeast Asia or Lao. So both me and my practice can grow closer to my culture. . But I still haven’t been able to find any good resources, so any suggestions on where I can do more research would be amazing. Thank you!!!
