In this episode, we’re going to discuss the controversial new hijab bill, which many are calling a violation of Iranian women’s fundamental human rights.
This bill, which has stirred both domestic and international outrage, was actually approved by the Guardian Council about a month ago. One of the parliament members had already announced it back on September 17, but the government still hasn’t moved forward with its implementation. Then, just recently on October 19, the Guardian Council’s spokesperson again confirmed at a news conference that the bill is officially approved.
The bill enforces stricter penalties on women who refuse to comply with the mandatory hijab. It turns the regime’s repressive hijab regulations into law, with a range of punishments including fines, prison sentences, and restrictions on education and employment for women who don’t comply with the mandatory dress code. This also extends to banning services to unveiled women and even implementing gender segregation in parks, hospitals, and universities.
The UN has condemned the bill, calling it gender apartheid.
