Western feminism has no place in Iran

Jamileh Alamolhoda, wife of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, spoke to some of the world’s top media saying a woman’s place is as a mother and wife, claiming Western feminism has no place in Iran. 

Meanwhile, women are on the streets burning the hijab and morality police continue to punish them for not complying with mandatory hijab rules.

Just last week, new laws to introduce harsher punishments for these women were passed in parliament as the battle against the rebellion continues to flounder.

For the last year, Iranians have been protesting the oppressive conditions of living under the regime under the Women, Life, Freedom movement. Thousands remain in Iranian jails for protesting while hijab rebels remain locked out of public places including transport and education.

Authorities also plan to adopt new student selection procedures and expelling thousands of students who have been part of the protest movement.

In institutions such as Amirkabir and Tehran Universities, female students are no longer allowed to wear patterned clothing, high-heeled shoes, or artificial nails, or expose tattoos.

Additionally, male students are subject to regulations prohibiting long hair, beards, or mustaches, as well as the wearing of jewelry and piercings. Recent reports indicate that security forces, Basij militia members, and plainclothes personnel are actively involved in monitoring the entry and exit of students.
