'TO WEAR OR NOT TO WEAR A HIJAB or TO BE OR NOT TO BE A FREE WOMAN'
Unveiled And Unbroken, Woman's Revolution In Iran

Defiance Against Mandatory Hijab Grows as Iranian Government Seeks Stricter Measures

Center for Human Rights Iran - June 15, 2023
<<Iran: Proposed Bill Pushes Denial of Basic Rights to Unveiled Women
Defiance Against Mandatory Hijab Grows as Iranian Government Seeks Stricter Measures
Unveiled Women Assaulted, Blocked from Accessing Essential Services
In the wake of the <Woman Life Freedom> movement that ignited nine months ago, a new parliamentary bill has emerged, intensifying discrimination against women who choose not to wear the hijab in Iran, while also undermining fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, belief, religion, and association. <Women in Iran have long endured a status as second-class citizens, both in legal framework and societal norms. Now, the government's proposed bill aims to widen the scope of institutionalized discrimination by establishing a subclass for unveiled women,< said Jasmin Ramsey, the deputy director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI). <This bill suggests that simply revealing women’s hair should result in denial of essential services such as access to banking and public transportation, or even imprisonment.> <The bill also places an onerous burden on ordinary citizens, compelling them to participate in the state's degradation of unveiled women,> added Ramsey. <By enforcing a system of surveillance and reporting, it creates an environment of division and hostility among Iranians, leaving women even more vulnerable to violence.>
The imposition of compulsory hijab on women and girls in Iran dates back to 1981, following Iran's 1979 revolution. Since then, numerous women have expressed their opposition to being coerced into wearing full-body coverings, either through public demonstrations or daily acts of resistance.
However, many have faced significant repercussions for their peaceful acts of civil disobedience, particularly in recent times due to the demonization by Iranian officials of unveiled women who have been growing in number since the anti-government protests that began in September 2022. These protests were triggered by the death of Mahsa Jina Amini, 22, who died while in state custody after being arrested in the capital for an allegedly improper hijab. The ongoing peaceful protest by women against the forced hijab, which remains a prominent aspect of the <Woman Life Freedom> movement, has come at a great personal cost for these individuals. In interviews with CHRI, women in various Iranian cities described being physically assaulted in public or blocked from accessing basic services simply because they were in public with their hair uncovered. <A few days ago, a man on the metro pushed me hard because I wasn't wearing a hijab and I fell on the ground,> a woman in Tehran told CHRI. <Then he dragged me... If the police hadn't arrived, the man wouldn't have left me alone,> she said. In light of the intense persecution they are enduring, all the women who shared their stories with CHRI for this article have chosen to remain anonymous in order to safeguard themselves from potential reprisals by state security agencies for speaking out publicly. Further interviews with women recounting their experiences of appearing unveiled in Iran can be found later in this article.
<Chastity and Hijab Law> Increases Discrimination, Violence Against Women.
Currently, women in Iran can face fines, arrests, or imprisonment for not wearing a hijab. Article 638 of Iran's Islamic Penal Code states that <Women who appear in public places and roads without wearing an Islamic hijab shall be sentenced to ten days to two months’ imprisonment or a fine of 50 thousand to five hundred rials.> Furthermore, women can be charged with prostitution or <promoting prostitution> if they refuse to wear the veil or advocate for a woman's right to dress as she wishes, as outlined in Article 639. This offense carries a punishment of one to ten years' imprisonment. The proposed <Chastity and Hijab> bill takes the notion even further by equating the act of appearing in public without a hijab, whether in person or on social media, with harm to society and considers it equivalent to <nudity.> The bill introduces a range of additional punishments, including monetary fines, restrictions on accessing bank accounts, confiscation of personal vehicles, travel limitations, bans on online activity, and imprisonment. These measures further reinforce the discriminatory treatment of women who choose not to wear the hijab or advocate for their right to dress according to their own preferences. The proposed bill seeks to intensify the control and punishment imposed on women who defy the compulsory hijab, thereby perpetuating a climate of oppression and limitation of personal freedom. Under the proposed law, government employees who are accused of not wearing a proper hijab or not wearing a hijab at all would face salary and benefit deductions and could potentially be deprived of their employment. Business owners and their staff would be obligated to monitor and enforce compliance with the compulsory hijab law. Failure to do so could result in the closure of their businesses. The proposed law also specifically targets celebrities who are accused of participating in or promoting the act of unveiling. Their actions are equated with acts against national security, leading to a range of punishments, including work bans, restrictions on using social media, and imprisonment. These provisions demonstrate the far-reaching and oppressive nature of the proposed law, as it not only seeks to regulate the behavior of individuals but also places significant responsibilities and potential penalties on employers and public figures. <It aims to create a climate of fear and control, further curtailing personal freedoms and discouraging dissent against the enforced hijab,> said Ramsey. <The proposed bill is inherently unlawful as it violates Article 9 of the Constitution, which explicitly states that 'no authority has the right to abrogate legitimate freedoms, not even by enacting laws and regulations for that purpose, under the pretext of preserving the independence and territorial integrity of the country,'> said Saeid Dehghan, an Iranian human rights lawyer, during an interview with CHRI.>>

<<Nishapur Female Worker Killed in Unsafe Factory Conditions
A young worker in the Iranian city of Nishapur, a 26-year old mother of two, recently lost her life while operating a plastic injection machine at a workshop in the city. The incident had shed new light on persistently dangerous working conditions within the country. The worker, whose identity remains undisclosed, passed away after the accident last week. Specific details regarding the incident have not been disclosed to the public at this time. Reza Alizadeh, Nishapur's deputy police commander, has confirmed that a court case has been opened in response to the incident and expert investigations and assessments are underway. Reports indicate that the deceased worker did not have social security insurance, further exacerbating her vulnerability in an already precarious situation. In an interview with IranWire, an anonymous worker from a similar industrial workshop offered a glimpse into the challenging work environments prevalent in the region. They revealed that Karimabad village, an impoverished area near Nishapur, has become a hub for unlicensed workshops that employ disadvantaged women. <These women, trapped in a cycle of limited education and extreme poverty, are forced to endure inhumane working conditions to make ends meet,> the source said. This incident once again underscores the risks faced by workers, particularly women, in Iran's workplaces. Mandatory hijab has also proven to be a source of danger, as inappropriate clothing can lead to tragic accidents. Marzieh Taherian, a 21-year-old night shift worker at a textile factory in Semnan, lost her life in October 2021 when her headscarf was caught in heavy machinery. The woman was pulled into the machine and killed. Her death sparked a wave of public outcry, prompting authorities to pledge a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death and ensure accountability for those responsible. Marzieh had also been insufficiently trained on the machine and the machine lacked safety features such as an alarm.>>

<<Iranian Actresses Summoned for Hijab Violations
In an escalation of pressure on celebrities, the Islamic Republic's judiciary has initiated a subpoena case against two renowned actresses for appearing without the mandatory hijab, authorities said on Monday. According to a report from the official Mizan news agency published on June 12, Azadeh Samadi was summoned following her appearance without a hijab at a funeral. The prosecutor's office for Culture and Media subsequently issued a summons to stand trial on charges of <injuring public morals and modesty by removing the hijab.> Similarly, Leila Bolokat has been summoned for <publishing pictures on her personal page on social media.> Director Zahra Ahooei, in another development, disclosed last week that she has received a summons to appear at Branch 1092 of the Criminal Court in Tehran. The notice she shared on Twitter stated that her <appearing without a hijab in public and removing the hijab on social media> led to the summons. The Iranian authorities have intensified their crackdown on many individuals who violate the country's strict dress code, following months of unrest sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody.>>
