There's an old Persian proverb, 'The sun shines upon all alike,' epitomising an eternal truth that all humans deserve equal respect and rights. Nevertheless, Iranian women have been living under a distinct shade, battling decades of peculiarly absurd and heartbreakingly regressive restrictions.

Their relentless campaign for gender equality and personal freedoms has been ongoing for years, and it is far from over, even though the spotlight of the global media may have shifted elsewhere.
