This trend became so common that famous women from all over the world cut their hair and shared videos on social media, and now female MLAs in the Legislative Assembly are also cutting their hair to show solidarity.
First, the Swedish member of the European Parliament, Abir Al-Sahlani, cut his hair during a speech at the European Union Assembly. Belgium’s Deputy Foreign Minister Darya Safai did the same.
This is solidarity.
