Mahnaz Afzali
A ladies’ washroom in a public park in centre of Tehran run by an old woman. This washroom is a shelter for girls and women who gather, talk, laugh, cry and live. Runaway girls, drug dealers, prostitutes and even ordinary women have all found a heedful ear in such an unusual place, where they are unveiled, both physically and mentally.
