Hi @MerriamWebster! I’d like to present a new entry to you. In honour of the courageous Iranian women’s defiance & resistance, would you consider VanMate as a new entry, please? #VanMate

This is life under the Gender Apartheid Islamic Regime for women & girls, normalized violence & brutal attacks. Women coining new words like #Islamotrauma & #VanMate to show the world how traumatic their lives are as inmates in this prison of a country.

Iranian women just coined a word to refer to the women & girls they share the van with after being arrested for hijab. #VanMate is the word they’re using to share their experiences of violence they experience for the crime of being women under the Gender Apartheid Islamic Regime.
