The Iranian parliament approved a hijab and chastity bill mandating women to wear hijabs, with strict penalties for non-compliance. This follows increased defiance since Jina Mahsa Amini’s 2022 death, which sparked protests and the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement. The law, drafted by the judiciary, imposes fines up to 20 months’ salary for improper hijab use, with additional penalties for non-payment. It also mandates CCTV use for enforcement and criminalizes promoting items encouraging “nudity.” Critics argue it aims to suppress women’s demands and bolster regime supporters.
