Why Are Women's Media Publications Completely Silent About Mahsa Amini's Death And The Human Rights Crisis In Iran?
In September, a 22-year-old woman named Mahsa Amini was arrested in Tehran, Iran for allegedly wearing her hijab improperly. She was beaten and suffered a fatal blow to the head that killed her days later. The entire country has erupted in protests and riots, and the Iranian Parliament has voted to execute 15,000 protestors. But why are women's media sites completely silent about this international news story?

Editor's Note: Recent reports indicate that the Iranian government did not call for 15,000 executions, but rather have arrested some protestors and handed down one protest-related death penalty on November 14.
