“Get ready with me, to fight for my rights and get killed” (
“Get ready with me, to fight for my rights and get killed”
) can we read on a video posted on September 26 on Tiktok by Soulmaz, Iranian based in the US state of Utah.
“GRWM”, acronym for “
get ready with me
», qualifies a video format depicting a preparation for a particular event, with the aim of detailing the elements of an outfit.
In recent days, many Iranian women have diverted this trend to warn about the situation of women in Iran.
Since the death in detention of Mahsa Amini, arrested in Tehran by the morality police for a “poorly put on” headscarf, Iran has been swept by a movement of revolt.
Dressed in a veil and an outfit similar to that which would have cost the life of Mahsa Amini, these Iranian women intend to resound their anger on social networks, despite the obstacles of the government.
In video, Iranian women take over the Tiktok GRWM trend
viral revolt
Tiktok, Youtube, Facebook, Telegram, Twitter and more recently, Instagram and Whatsapp... all the networks are in the line of sight of the Iranian government which intends to stifle the revolt by cutting off access to its territory.
Posted for the most part by Iranian expatriates, these videos echo images that have gone viral following the death of Hadis Najafi.
The 20-year-old influencer was killed on September 20 during a protest in the city of Karaj.
The latter was associated (wrongly) with a video of a young woman without a veil who is preparing to go to conflict by tying her hair.
If it was not, in fact, Hadis Najafi, the video has become one of the symbols of the women's revolt in Iran.
