Female Iranian protesters stand next to an anti-U.S. poster depicting the portraits of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during an anti-U.S. and anti-Israeli rally marking the anniversary of the U.S. embassy occupation in downtown Tehran, Iran, on November 4, 2025. About 100 Muslim students seize the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, protesting American interference and demanding the Shah's extradition. Backed by Ayatollah Khomeini, the hostage crisis triggers Iran-U.S. diplomatic rupture, economic sanctions, and Prime Minister Bazargan's resignation.

Nepal's Interim Prime Minister and former female Chief Justice Sushila Karki arrives at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 17, 2025, to brief the international community. In her briefing, the interim prime minister assures the diplomats that the Himalayan nation steadily returns to normalcy as the government intensifies efforts to restore stability, promote transparency, and combat corruption. The Prime Minister also briefs the international community about the update on the overall situation in Nepal and informs the diplomats about the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives, scheduled for March 5, 2026. Karki comes into power following the Gen-Z revolution, which removes communist KP Sharma Oli from power. At least 75 people are killed in two days of violence. The Gen Z protestors hit the streets demanding political accountability, an end to entrenched corruption, and the reversal of a controversial social media ban. The protests, primarily driven by students and young citizens, rapidly escalate into Nepal's bloodiest day since the 2006 pro-democracy movement. On September 8 alone, at least 21 protestors--mostly students under the age of 30--are killed. The following day sees 39 more deaths, including 15 from severe burns, while an additional 14 fatalities are recorded over the next ten days. To date, the death toll stands at 75.

A female protester holds a placard reading in Arabic ''climate justice is a right, not a favor'' while shouting slogans, and another placard reading ''stop the genocide'' is raised during a mass protest that brings together thousands of residents in Gabes, Tunisia, on October 15, 2025, to protest and demand the dismantling of the units of the Tunisian Chemical Group (GCT). The mobilization comes after a surge in cases of respiratory problems, poisonings, and illnesses affecting students at a middle school located near the phosphate processing plant, sparking anger among a population exposed to chemical risks for more than fifty years. In 2017, Tunisian authorities promise the gradual dismantling of the polluting units of the Gabes chemical complex following strong protests against pollution. However, this decision is never fully implemented, and the population continues to suffer from massive pollution.
