September 16, 2025, marked three years since Mahsa “Jina” Amini’s death in the custody of Iran’s morality police, which ignited the massive Woman, Life, Freedom movement. Iranian communities worldwide held memorial gatherings—benches and trees were dedicated, speeches delivered abroad, and events in cities from Adelaide to Toronto to Europe to Washington D.C and Los Angeles in solidarity with her memory.
Inside Iran, despite heavy repression, people protested across multiple cities, with students, women, and workers giving voice to longstanding grievances, chanting through rooftops, windows, and the streets. Authorities tried to suppress memorials and blocked her family from holding a service, but the demand for justice and systemic change continues to burn with strength.
