A fortnight following Mahsa Amini’s death in Iran, several French feminist groups demonstrated on Friday evening in Paris in support of Iranian women and called on President Emmanuel Macron to take a stand.
Protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Amini, who was arrested by Iran’s morality police for a "badly worn" headscarf, have spiralled into the biggest show of opposition to Iran's clerical authorities since 2019 – fuelling calls for more support from feminist groups and politicians abroad. In France, several women’s rights groups posted a statement on social media on Friday calling for rallies in support of Iranian women.
