Academic research is helping inform their work and ensure they take the most effective approach.
Last image of #MahsaAmini alive moments before being severely beaten for showing hair from under her hijab. In a coma for two days before dying from her head injuries Sept 16th.
Her name has become the most shared hashtag of all time. A name that sparked 11 months of ongoing nationwide and global protests.
1 year anniversary will be highly significant.
The countdown started.
T-minus 1 month.
