What They're Saying: Feranak Amidi

“It is a significant moment — unfortunately, it’s also a bittersweet one. It took the life of a young woman for international pressure to mount up enough to get Iranian authorities to allow womeninside the stadiums. It still was not on equal grounds — women were allocated very limited tickets for the game. The stadium was empty outside of the women’s section. Women who weren’t able to buytickets online got to the stadium and weren’t allowed to get them there.”
