The Women Life Freedom Square in Westwood was unveiled on Sept. 15, bringing together over 25 local vendors, community representatives, and attendees to celebrate at the intersection of Rochester Avenue and Westwood Boulevard.
Approved by the Los Angeles City Council last year, the Women Life Freedom Square honors the life of Mahsa Amini, who was killed by Iran’s morality police almost two years ago, and whose death sparked protests and outcry for women’s rights globally. The event was co-produced by the Women’s Intercultural Network and the Women’s March Foundation, whose ambitious Feminist Street Initiative works to rename streets across the United States to publicly and permanently honor influential women and their contributions to history.
