A selection from social media networks, August 12 and 13, Shiraz and Isfahan Women athletes; from the Islamic Republic’s restrictions to free presence in the urban space Caption: For years, the Islamic Republic has tried to control women’s presence in public spaces and their lifestyles by imposing various laws and restrictions. However, in recent months, more images of women athletes have been shared on social media, as they do parkour, gymnastics, and other street sports in urban and public spaces; images that, for many women, are not only a display of athletic ability, but a narrative of the struggle to reclaim the right to be present and to choose in public space.
