protest against dress code
Authorities in Iran are catching people who have made up their mind for protests. These authorities celebrated ‘hijab and purity’ on Tuesday at Azadi Stadium in the capital Tehran. It is a football stadium and the event that took place here encouraged women to follow the rule of wearing hijab. Iran’s security forces are patrolling across the country and asking women to follow the dress code. At the same time, protesting against the dress code on a large scale.
what are the rules of hijab
In Iran, women have to keep their head covered at all times. Under no circumstances can she be seen in a public place without covering her hair. But these restrictions vary from administration to administration. These restrictions also depend on the political background of the woman.
Some areas are more free-thinking than others. The women of Mashad and Qom provinces are strictly monitored. At the same time, in a province like Tehran or Shiraz, women easily get exemption from these rules. Raisi came to power last year and since then there have been new rules regarding the hijab. Under the new rules, women wearing hijab incorrectly are denied entry to government offices, banks and public transport.
rules for 4 decades
For the past 4 decades, women in Iran have been following the rules of hijab. Hijab has been made mandatory since 1979 when there was a revolution here. Some women try to ease these restrictions by wearing colorful scarves and showing off some of their hair. The authorities have strong objection to this matter. They believe that these women are going to break the basic principles of Islamic countries, under which ‘hijab and purity’ are at the top.
