Brave Iranian women are openly defying the theocratic country’s oppressive hijab law — despite the risks following the regime’s deadly protest crackdown.
After Iran’s security forces killed at least 7,000 protesters in January, according to human rights groups, many women and girls have continued to stand in defiance of the regime by breaking the country’s strict dress code.
Images out of Tehran last week show women of all ages out and about in casual clothes, including one woman sporting an “I Love NY” T-shirt.
Another woman was even spotted wearing a red T-shirt with an American flag on it, with many of the women opting for jeans over traditional dresses.
While many of the people breaking tradition were young women, older women were also pictured wearing more urban-casual outfits in the city streets.
The photos paint a picture of a modern, chic Tehran compared to the Islamist regime’s oppressive image.
“I think that if I am going to live the final seconds of my life, I want to live it the way I want,” Mahyar Yeganeh, 16, told CBC News while out without any headscarves in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar.
“And this is connected to the courage of Iranian women still confronting a dictatorial government by any means,” she added.
Iran’s law dictates that all women and girls over the age of 12 must cover their hair with hijabs and wear traditional clothes following the 1979 revolution.
The strict law gained international attention following the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini, 22, who died in police custody after being arrested for improperly wearing her hijab.

OMG, yes! Shoot, I’d go for fifty blue-haired, nose-pierced, battleship-displacement-sized wo-monsters for one average Persian woman of equal parts fire, beauty, and loyalty. I’m in! Where do I sign up for the trade?
some of our women as in those who would defend the regime
It was the women of Paris who tore down the Bastille.
Wow.
Still, the Islamic Republic has other means to crack down on those who break the hijab law. Rather than arrest people on the spot, the regime has used traffic cameras in recent years to identify the women and send them fines in the mail.
Although I noticed the septum ring. Red flag...
Women with concealed kitchen knives can take out morality police from videos I have seen. They have to overthrow their oppressors. They cannot depend on foreigners to risk their lives to oust the IRGC.
Zackly.
There’s no chance that Iran’s Morality Police* will put up with this. Eventually they will hang a few of these offenders. And beat or imprison many more.
Then the women’s rights groups in the West will all say…nothing.

We’re blind to what’s going on in the country. Last I heard several weeks ago inflation was 45% since war started. The currency is worthless. Mass layoffs have occurred. Water shortages persist. No food imports via the Persian Gulf. They’re living in depression-era conditions but we don’t know any details except tidbits like this
Beatings by a male
I had an Iranian hairdresser I met in Silicon Valley.
They got out after the fall of the Shah.
30 years ago it was NOT a safe place for men or women to visit.
Offer to exchange our socialist democrat women for their women who refuse to wear hijabs. Fair trade. Demoncrat women like wearing hijabs and keffiyehs anyway.
Ladies, you know where the morality police live and sleep. Destroy their homes and lives and vehicles. They need to be afraid to kill old women on the sidewalks with bullets to the brain.
Great news! Thanks for posting. Misogynist MoFos need a beatdown. Unfortunately Western women’s rights collectives are like crickets chirping.
Those pictures don’t show a lot of suffering people. Instead they look stylish, fit, well groomed, westernized with designer clothes.
The young women look especially attractive and much more fit than so many of our “plus and plus plus sized” specimens.
It sure doesn’t look like what our propaganda inundates us with!
That is because our country overthrew the shah.
Agreed.
