My Stealthy Freedom is an online movement that was commenced by a London-based journalist Masih Alinejad. This movement started from a Facebook Page "My Stealthy Freedom" where women from Iran post their photos without scarfs, as Iranian women cover their hair in public according to local dress code. This rules has been returned during the Iranian revolution in 1979, after half century ban of traditional clothing by pro-Western Pahlavi dynasty.
Alinejad's view
Alinejad said she is not leading a battle against the headscarf. She wants to support the right for individual women to be able to choose whether or not they want Hijab. "I want them to be heard as well when they say, ‘Look, this is me, an Iranian woman. I want to be free." She said to interviewer.
