Masih Alinejad is a journalist and activist from a small village in Iran. When she posted a photo of herself without her veil, or hijab, on her Facebook page, she sparked a social-media liberation movement, 'My Stealthy Freedom'. With the creation of 'My Stealthy Freedom' Masih has gained over one million supporters around the world, and inspired Islamic women everywhere to take a stand for their basic human rights. She's been covered by the media from Vogue, to the Guardian, the New York Times and beyond. Last year she was the recipient of the Women's Rights Award from the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy.
