The Iranian Parliament has passed a bill aimed at strengthening sanctions against women who do not wear the mandatory veil in public places. This bill, titled “Hijab and Chastity,” has been approved for a three-year trial period.
In Iran, authorities have decided to tighten sanctions against women who refuse to wear the veil in public places. A bill has been passed in the Iranian Parliament for this purpose. “The parliamentarians approved the implementation of the ‘Hijab and Chastity’ bill for a three-year trial period,” said the Irna news agency.
This decision by Iranian authorities comes at a time when the Iranian government has intensified its efforts to enforce the wearing of the veil, especially in major cities where an increasing number of women are going out without a veil.
This tightening of sanctions raises concerns about women’s rights in Iran and freedom of choice in clothing. It also comes in a context of growing restrictions on individual freedoms in the country.
It is worth noting that this decision could lead to reactions both domestically and internationally, as Iran is already subject to economic and political sanctions from various Western nations. The plight of women in Iran and the restrictions imposed on them remain a major concern for human rights advocates and the international community.
