"Streichen" in this context means "to wipe". Thus the complete sentence translated to English would be
She wiped her forehead.
This could be e.g. because she was sweating, she was trying to get her hair out of her face, etc.
In this context "to wipe" is the correct translation, as in "She wiped over her forehead" Other usual use cases and translations for "streichen" are:
- to cancel/delete/remove: e.g. "to cancel financial support" => "finanzielle Unterstützung streichen
- to paint: e.g. "to paint a wall" => "eine Wand streichen" note: "to paint a painting" => "ein Gemälde malen"
