On Wednesday, March 11th, 2020, a video clip began to circulate in social media about sexism in Iran and how patriarchy values are undermining the dignity and worth of a woman in Iran.
The video clip illustrated a member of a paramilitary faction of the Revolutionary Guard; it is called Basij attacked at a forty-two (42) years older woman under the pretext of not observing her Islamic dress code. The man in the video clip charged at the woman and began using his physical force at her. At one point, this man kicked her on her stomach. It was a heartbreaking video clip to watch. This man did not ask himself, this is a woman, if I kick her on her stomach, maybe she has a baby, and would I hurt her baby?
Hollywood actor Robert Di Nero watched the video clip on social media and commented on the incident. He wrote on his Twitter account,
"Watching this video makes one very angry.
In broad daylight in Iran, a woman walking in the street is physically harassed by a pro-regime vigilante due to her hijab.
Next time they tell you compulsory hijab is a small issue, show them this video. Many Iranian women face this."

However, the Islamic Republic of Iran's morality was not shaken by it. The system believed the action of the man was justifiable within the strutcure of the system. Thus, the system would never change. The regime in Iran deemed the value of a woman in this light that she has no dignity or worth. She dusts and grasses at the corner of society.
