Four years after "Woman, Life, Liberation"; Withdrawal of compulsory hijab in society

🔸 Four years ago, Mahsa (Jina) Amini was arrested by Arshad patrol agents wearing a long black coat and a scarf with a few strands of hair underneath. A gate that even seems conservative on the streets of Iran today.

From March 1357, when women chanted in the streets, "We did not make a revolution to go back," until September 1401, the street has always been a scene of conflict between women demanding the right to choose their bodies and clothing, and the government trying to control this choice.

🔸 Now the obligatory hijab law still exists and arrests, summonses, fines and social exclusion continue; But the veils that were removed during the interceptions of "Woman, Life, Liberation" did not return completely.

🔸 Did women push its social implementation before the legal abolition of the obligatory hijab? Radio Farda examined this question in a round table conversation with Rizvan Mogdam, a researcher and women's rights activist, and Mahdia Golero, a political and women's rights activist.
