Many Islamic nations in the Middle East prefer establishing Hijab Laws for women because they consider what is written in their holy texts towards the dressing for a woman. A hijab is a cloth that covers a woman’s face completely, leaving only eyes, to protect them their the vision of rest of the world.
Yet, a few women decided to defy these Hijab Laws and found it in their comfort to open through it and showcase themselves in their beautiful photos, clicked by the famous Dutch photographer, Marinka Masséus, who went to Iran to showcase his images under the project name, “My Stealthy Freedom”. Here are some amazing photos under this project where these Iranian women show bravery and challenge the oppressive regime and defy Islamic Hijab Laws, for their liberty.
Islamic Women show their Bravery by Defying Compulsory Hijab Laws in Stunning Photos and challenge the oppressive regime. “With the windows of my Tehran apartment covered with tinfoil to ensure that the flash would not be visible from outside, we were safe to create and let creativity flow. The women threw their brightly colored headscarf in the air and as it inescapably floated back to them, I captured this act of defiance,” Marinka said about the photos of the women she clicked.
Most of the Iranian women dislike wearing Hijab because it shows their passive acceptance as humans and showcases their inferiority. They feel living not in liberty and freedom. It is a sign of discrimination amongst the men of the country or people of different countries and shows them as the vulnerable.
The famous Dutch photographer had to say, “With the windows of my Tehran apartment covered with tinfoil so that the flash would not be visible from outside, we were safe to create and let creativity flow. The women threw their brightly colored headscarf in the air and as it inescapably floated back to them, I captured their act of defiance.”
Iranian women are not afraid of defying Hijab Laws by wearing them of bright shades of wearing them too low or wearing right outfits. Women have no access to social media in Iran, but with the use of VPN, they are spreading awareness about these Hijab Laws.

The protests by the women have increased very significantly and are taking the positive direction.
The regime tries to stop the women by establishing internet barriers and violence imposition.
The internet is blocked because the dictatorship at Iran does not their voices to be heard all over the world.
Their voices are hard to control.
