Iranian Women Join Anti-Hijab Protests In The Country's Conservative Southeast

Iranian Women Join Anti-Hijab Protests: Iranian women are taking part in anti-hijab protests across the country, in defiance of the government’s mandatory dress code for women. At least 448 protesters have been killed by security forces since the protests began, with the largest death toll occurring in Sistan-Baluchistan province, on Iran’s southeastern border with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Iran Human Rights, a leading monitoring group, says that the number of protesters killed is likely to be much higher, as many deaths have gone unreported. The protests began last year, after the government introduced a new law requiring all women to wear hijabs in public.

The law was widely seen as an attempt to further control and restrict women’s lives in Iran. Women have been at the forefront of the protests, risking their lives to stand up for their rights.

In recent weeks, there has been a surge in participation, with women of all ages and from all walks of life taking to the streets. The Iranian government has responded to the protests with violence and repression, but the women continue to fight for their rights. Their courage and determination is an inspiration to us all.

Anti-Hijab Protests

A growing number of Iranian women are speaking out against the country’s compulsory hijab laws, with some even daring to take off their headscarves in public. The protests, which began last year, have been met with a crackdown by the authorities, with dozens of women arrested and jailed.

But the protesters’ resolve appears to be strong, and their numbers appear to be growing. The movement has been dubbed “White Wednesdays,” in reference to the white headscarves that many of the protesters wear. The demonstrations initially started among a group of young women who posted videos online of themselves walking around without hijabs.
