Recently, Taylor Hanson recreated and released the Grammy-winning song, "Baraye - For Women Life Freedom" to spread awareness about the civil unrest in Iran, ahead of the one-year anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini -- the 22-year-old Iranian woman who died in custody for allegedly wearing a hijab loosely. The song is a new version of the original by Iranian artist Shervin Hajipour. The latest version features over 16,000 voices each representing a peaceful political prisoner jailed in Iran, as per PEOPLE. Hanson co-founded the nonprofit For Women Life Freedom.

"I think the power of this song — and the power of hopefully our rendition, which we created through the Voices Project — is to just bring that simple message that there is a series of injustices going on against the people that, first and foremost, we need to recognize," the musician and activist told People magazine.

Taylor Hanson, of the multi-platinum and chart-topping “MMMBoppers” Hanson, has put out a widespread call for 16,000 voices to join him in recording a song in support of Iranian women and their global allies. https://t.co/G4q9YrQwUD
