Minoo dreamed of seeing her daughter and all Iranian women live freely without mandatory hijab and oppression. She wanted future generations to experience the freedom she never had.
Minoo Majidi was a 62-year-old mother from Kermanshah who was killed on December 30, 2022, while participating in protests. She had joined the demonstrations to support her daughter and other young women fighting for freedom. Witnesses reported that she was shot directly by security forces while peacefully protesting. Her death certificate falsely stated she died of natural causes, but her family bravely revealed the truth. As a mother standing with the youth, her sacrifice embodied the intergenerational solidarity of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.

Minoo's death as a mother protesting alongside the youth demonstrated that the movement transcended age boundaries. Her sacrifice inspired other parents to join protests, leading to the formation of groups like "Mothers of Laleh Park" who demanded justice for killed protesters.
