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

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.
