Why not? Western feminists stage an annual Hijab Day in solidarity with hijab-wearing women in the West who are supposedly victims of “Islamophobia,” but Isabelle Adjani will find that her expectation is not fulfilled. As always, the outreach and accommodation go only in one direction.
“Iran: Isabelle Adjani expects women who wear the veil to remove it in solidarity with ‘those who are massacred for this gesture,'” translated from “Iran : Isabelle Adjani attend des femmes qui portent le voile qu’elles l’enlèvent par solidarité avec ‘celles qui se font massacrer pour ce geste,'” FranceInfo, November 7, 2022:
A first version of the title of this article could suggest that Isabelle Adjani launched a “call” to women to remove their veil. Which she did not formally do. She said there was no question of “not hearing the call” from Iranian women. “This fight makes me want to expect women who wear the veil to remove it, all over the world, in solidarity with those who are killed, massacred, for doing this gesture.”
While the demonstrations against the regime continue in Iran, the French actress Isabelle Adjani estimates Monday, November 7 on franceinfo that there is no question of “not hearing the call” of Iranian women. “This fight makes me want to expect women who wear the veil to remove it, all over the world, in solidarity with those who are killed, massacred, by making this gesture,” she explains.
A month ago, several women artists, including Isabelle Adjani, Juliette Binoche, Apple and Marion Cotillard, cut a lock of their hair to support the protest movement born in response to the death of Mahsa Amini. The 22-year-old student died on September 16, three days after she was arrested in Tehran by morality police who accused her of breaking the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code. “It is not us who are going to change the policy of the mullahs and bring them back to human reason,” explains Isabelle Adjani. “Even if what we do with a pair of scissors is strictly symbolic, we risk nothing, that we are not in the street, we are there. We are there and we are sending Iranian women a message that can bring them a little strength in a fight that goes beyond the comprehension of courage.”

France: Isabelle Adjani says she ‘expects’ women who wear hijab to take it off in solidarity with Iranian women

*I wish*. But between Muslim supremacy and threats against Muslim women who dare remove their Hijabs, I don’t see this happening–certainly not on any kind of widespread basis.
Still, good for Isabelle Adjani for addressing this issue at all.

Won’t happen! Western women who voluntarily wear hijabs are more in love w/ islam than they care about Iranian women
eximius says
I can’t see this happening, ever. Too much fear, hate and violence. Your own quotes from the Quran prove Islam puts very little value on individual human life, particularly women who are to be beaten if their husband’s merely “fear disobedience”. In other words, they don’t have to do anything wrong, their husband just has to believe they might.
European pagan says
The problem is that so many Muslim women are so brainwashed that they believe that they will go to hell if they remove the hijab

Isabelle’s father is a Berber (Kabyl) Algerian, her mother German. The Kabyl, ca 40% of the Alg. population, tend not to cover face or hair. Millions of Berber women and men, will support her stance.

No, you’re not. You’re safe in France, posting on social media.
NoBurkas says
“Safe in France”?
With 10% of the population being adherents of the MURDEROUS IDEOLOGY of ISLAM, I think not!
Keep your eyes open to keep your head on and practise situational awareness.

It would make more sense if someone set up a workable secure channel to get funding to the Iranian women.
