Today, as we are approaching the end of the 16 Days of Activism to help Eliminate Violence Against Women and Girls, we’re going to discuss the disturbing rise of violence against women in Iran under the current regime and especially, a controversial law that’s going to be enforced soon to compel women to observe the mandatory Hijab.
While violence against women is a global issue, the situation in Iran is very concerning since it has been systemic and institutionalized under the clerical regime. The government not only fails to protect women but actively promotes misogynistic laws. So, women in Iran live under constant threat, both from the state and within their own homes.
The legal system, under the clerics, is deeply flawed and heavily biased against women. A man who kills his wife can often escape punishment under the guise of “honor,” while women are punished harshly, even for defending themselves.
