We Condemn the Oppression of Women, All Forms of Violence Against Women, and the “Hijab and Chastity” Law!
The Islamic Republic regime in Iran has consistently engaged in systematic and institutionalized violence against women. Simultaneously, Iranian women have demonstrated unwavering resistance and defiance, even at the cost of their lives, often at the hands of military and civilian forces, particularly the so-called “Morality Police.” The Woman, Life, Freedom movement stands as a powerful uprising led by Iranian women in protest against the mandatory hijab following the brutal killing of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini by the “Guidance Patrol.” This movement reflects the collective outrage of the Iranian people against the oppression of women and the enforcement of medieval laws that blatantly contradict fundamental human rights.
The disgraceful and shameful “Hijab and Chastity” law once again insults the intelligence of the Iranian nation. This law mandates compliance with and promotion of the regime’s definition of hijab as a “personal, familial, social, and governmental obligation.” Women who refuse to submit to this humiliating law face punishments such as fines, dismissal from work, expulsion from educational institutions, and travel bans. Shockingly, the penalties prescribed for women under this law exceed those imposed on fathers who kill their daughters or on embezzlers and thieves!
The widespread issuance of statements condemning and opposing the transformation of the “Hijab and Chastity” bill into law highlights the deep rift between the people of Iran and the ruling regime. It is clear that the implementation of this disgraceful law will only deepen the divide between the Iranian people and the ignorant ruling minority. Ultimately, it will serve as a fatal blow to the Islamic regime in Iran.
We, in the Campaign to Stop Honor Killings and the undersigned, call upon the Iranian people to rise in protest against this inhumane “Hijab and Chastity” law and to stand in solidarity with the women of Iran!
We urge women’s rights and human rights organizations worldwide to support Iranian women in their fight for freedom and equality!
We warn the Islamic Republic to immediately repeal the disgraceful and shameful “Hijab and Chastity” law and all other anti-woman laws and bills!
