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.

Big time.
Id keep to the burka. You can hide a bazooka underneath that.
,,, the word needs to spread that there's a bounty on the IRGC - their livers and kidneys are wanted outside Iran.
Our liberals are with Iran, so they agree it is correct for Iran. I’m sure they would go for that policy in our country.
