A
In
the
weeks
since

death

have
raised

voices,
demanding
change
and
calling

equity,

human
rights
and
for
freedom
in
this
movement.
People

also
for

undocumented
refugees,
migrants,
Baha'I
people,

and
kurd
alike.

Protests
against
the
government
in
Iran
have
been
led
by
women
and
girls,
but
they
are
not
alone.
Men
and
boys
in
Iran
and
people
around
the
world
are
rising
in
solidarity.
The
response
from
the
Iranian
Security
Forces
has
been
brutal.
According
to
