Urban commuter portrait

Tehran - Tehran Province - Iran

Shabnam (35) poses for the photographer while sits on her motorcycle in a street of Tehran, Iran. She is a dance instructor and rides to her work from home everyday with her motorcycle. In Iran, women are not allowed legally to get the motorcycle riding license. If police pull over them, their motorcycle will be seized and sent to the police parking lots. #Ifwomen can get the motorcycle riding license in Iran, they will feel more gender equality. Furthermore, riding motorcycles will be safer for them as they can be covered by vehicle insurance.
