  • Summary

  • Welcome to the NCRI Women’s Committee podcast. In today’s episode, we dive into one of the most pressing issues of women in Iran—the Iranian regime’s retreat from enforcing its controversial new mandatory hijab law. This is an issue that affects millions of lives and highlights both the resilience of Iranian women and the regime’s weakness.

    The announcement of the enforcement of the law on November 27 created a strong backlash, a wave of protests, extensive graffiti on the walls, and operations by Resistance Units across the country in the name of “Women, Resistance, Freedom” to confront the regime’s repressive measure against women. Various sectors of society that held protests changed slogans demanding freedom of choice for women’s dress code.

    This law and now its temporary suspension by the regime’s Supreme National Security Council highlight not only the regime’s struggles to maintain control but also the threats it faces from a volatile and extremely discontented society.
