On International Women’s Day, 8 March 2024, British-Iranian women, organised by the group Stage of Freedom, marched silently through central London dressed in red cloaks and white bonnets reminiscent of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. The procession began at Parliament Square and concluded at the Iranian embassy in Kensington. Participants carried posters of female protesters who had been killed, injured, or imprisoned by the Iranian regime since the onset of the ‘Mahsa Protests’ in September 2022, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in custody of Iran’s morality police. The attire symbolised the oppression and gender apartheid faced by women in Iran under the Islamic Republic’s laws
