Forouzan grew up in Iran and shares what it was really like to be a young female pursuing her education within the confines of restrictive laws and cultural ideals. Forouzan shares her thoughts as an Iranian woman on the ongoing protests in her home country, and her reaction to first hearing the news of the arrest and subsequent death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. She tells Between Headlines what she's hearing from people within Iran and why she believes this is a history-making movement. Forouzan has been organizing protests in New York City for weeks and tells us why people in North America and around the world should care about the destiny of women and people in Iran and how they can help.
