Several women have cut their hair at a Perth rally in solidarity with protesters in Iran, following the death of a 22-year-old woman while in custody of the country's "morality" police.
Mahsa Amini was arrested in Tehran on September 13 for wearing "unsuitable attire".
She fell into a coma while in detention and died in hospital three days after her arrest.
Human rights advocates have accused Iranian police of beating and torturing Ms Amini, but they deny the claims.
Worldwide protests spread to Perth
Hundreds of Iranians gathered in central Perth to protest the human rights abuses of the Iranian regime, one of many worldwide rallies.
Second-generation Persian-Australian Armita Ghassemifar said it was hard being in Australia and watching the Iranian people suffer.
"The women of Iran have been oppressed for the past 40 years, it’s just so painful to see," Ms Ghassemifar said.
"Seeing Mahsa die, it was like that jolt of energy that the Iranian people needed.
"We've never seen protests this consistent, with this much power."
Rally organiser Mehdi Ghatei said he had never seen such a large gathering of Iranians in Perth.
He said he organised the rally to help give a voice to the people in Iran, who are cut off from the world by their government.
“People are voiceless in Iran. They don’t have media, they don’t have anything. They are coming to the street with empty hands," he said.
“They are just asking us, that are living in a free country, ‘just be our voice'."
He said the Iranian regime was killing people during the widespread protests now happening across the country.
"With empty hands, people are just protesting against the hijab and against the regime change and (for) basic human rights, but they are killing them with military forces," Mr Ghatei said.
"Tell everyone in the world what is happening currently in Iran.
"It’s really crucial, we need to stop this regime, we need to stop the mass killing."
He said Ms Amini's death had united the people of Iran in grief and the need for change.
"All of the people in Iran are united now. Everyone from different religion background or cultural background," he said.
On Saturday, Iran state television reported that at least 41 people had been killed during the week-long unrest.
