This study explores the experiences of Iranian women who have traveled alone, examining the ways in which their narratives reflect and contribute to their sense of social justice and empowerment. Through semi-structured interviews and netnographic analysis, this study found that solo travel is a complex process that involves resisting traditional expectations and asserting autonomy. The findings highlight the significance of empowerment in achieving gender equality and women's rights and demonstrate the importance of acknowledging and amplifying women's voices to create a more inclusive and just society. The study suggests that increased economic independence, education, and career independence are crucial factors in enabling women to make their own decisions about solo travel and that social justice can be achieved by challenging traditional norms and expectations. The results also emphasize the transformative power of solo travel for personal growth and self-discovery and highlight the importance of personal autonomy and decision-making in achieving social justice.
