Hair-cutting, hijab burning, mourning the loss of a friend, sister, daughter and woman: these are the images of worldwide protests sparked after 22-year old Mahsa Amini was detained for wearing an “improper” hijab in Tehran, and fell into a coma and died. Yet in many of the western countries where the rights of women are simultaneously being decried in Iran, Muslim women are accosted daily for their beliefs and how they dress, finding themselves as the subjects of extreme forms of racism and hate. To unfurl the reasons behind this di-chotomy, Professor Julie Billaud, who teaches Anthropology and Sociology at the Institute, joins us for this episode of What Matters Today.
