Makarem Shirazi, a high-ranking mullah, stressed on crackdown on women and said, “Today, veiling has turned into an important political issue that needs to be dealt with vigilantly.”  (State-run Mashregh News website – August 2, 2016)

Also, the Interior Minister, Rahmani Fazli, stressed that compulsory veiling is “a governmental duty” which cannot be put off. He reiterated that all measures undertaken for social control are reported directly to Rouhani, the mullahs’ president. (State-run Asr-e Iran news agency – August 12, 2016)

ABOUT US

NCRI Women Committee

We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora.
The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.
