In East Kurdistan, a man was found guilty in an Iranian court
for domestic violence. The court punished him by ordering him to dress in Kurdish
women attire publically. This has led to an awareness group called the “Kurd
Men For Equality”, who take pictures of themselves in Kurdish women clothing
and post them on Facebook to symbolize that dressing as women should not be
looked upon as a form of humiliation. The movement believes that the courts
penalty represents the oppression and inequality of Kurdish women.
