Women in Motion: Daily Life During Ceasefire

Walking as Survival and Routine

Women in Tehran continue to carry out essential daily tasks:

• Visiting local markets for food and supplies
• Checking on relatives and neighbors
• Accompanying children through disrupted routines

Even in areas affected by strikes, walking remains one of the few accessible means of movement due to damaged transport systems. Roads blocked by debris and limited fuel availability have made pedestrian movement more common.

Navigating Damaged Spaces

Walking through the city now involves navigating:

• Broken sidewalks and collapsed structures
• Temporary barriers and security checkpoints
• Areas still considered unsafe

Despite these challenges, women move carefully through these spaces, often adapting routes and routines to avoid danger.
