Men in Iran are wearing hijabs in support of women across the country who are forced to cover their heads in public.
Women have been made to wear headscarves in the country ever since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Those who don’t wear it or wear one that shows some of their hair face strict fines or even imprisonment in the conservative Islamic country.
