Since 1979 revolution, Iranian women have lost their right to access certain public spaces including many of sport stadiums. But, it was not until 2005, that a group of women's activists launched a campaign to retrieve their right. In two occasions, in 2005, they succeeded to enter Azadi, first to watch Bahrain vs. Iran and second Iran vs. Korea soccer matches. The second could only happen by assistance of Korean women in Tehran who did not suffer such prohibition. This was the last presence of Iranian women in men's soccer game. However, Iranian women's activists did not stay silent and formed a campaign called "Defense of Women's Right to Attend Stadiums" which its members became known as Rousari Sefid-ha (those with white scarves). In their first statement published in April 2006, they demanded unconditional permission to enter stadiums. They also called for elimination of all types of discrimination against women in public spaces. "My Share, Half of Azadi" (which also means freedom) was written on their white scarves when they marched in front of Azadi stadium. This was an incredible strategy, they wrote their slogan on their scarves and were sure police could not remove them due to compulsory hejab policies. Roosari Sefid-ha also became the subject of Jafar Pahani's film Offside which narrated the stories of six female football fans who disguised in men's attire to be able to attend a soccer match. They get arrested at the same day that Roosari Sefid-ha were protesting outside Azadi stadium. Jafar Panahi dedicated the film to Iranian women's rights movement.
