For decades, gender inequality and discrimination against women have
been legally enshrined in Iran.
Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, Iranian women's rights are severely
restricted, a form of gender apartheid. Women must comply with the
Islamic Republic's mandatory hijab laws from the onset of puberty, and
they are unequal in matters of marriage, divorce, custody, inheritance
and more.
In the Fall of 2022, hundreds of protesters, including dozens of
children, have been killed by Iranian authorities. These nation-wide
protests were triggered by the tragic death of 22 year old
Mahsa Jina Amini
who died in police custody after being arrested by Iran's “morality
police” for failing to properly cover her hair.
On 16 September 2022 Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman from Saqqez in Iran's Kurdistan Province, died in a Tehran hospital. Three days earlier she had been arrested by Iran's Guidance Patrol, or 'morality polic', for wearing her hijab 'improperly' and fell into a coma after she was beaten inside the police van taking her to the Vozara Detention Centre. Crowds gathered outside the hospital in a state of shock and responded to her death by calling for accountability. Soon protests spread to other cities.
