At the initiative of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, four institutions - the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Palais de Tokyo, the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Palais de la Porte Dorée - join the project Woman Life Freedom to express their support for Iranian women and men.
The death of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman killed by the vice police on September 16, 2022, triggered a protest movement that took over every city in Iran. Many Iranian women took to the streets, supported by men, to shout their anger at the regime and the law established since the 1979 Islamic revolution. All of them demanded more freedom, including the end of the compulsory veil, and profound changes in the country.
