Iran Ramps Up Violence and Repression Against Women and Girls
Center for Human Rights in Iran - 17 April 2024
<<Iran Ramps Up Violence and Repression Against Women and Girls Amid Regional
Tensions
The Iranian government's escalating violence and repression against women and
girls who refuse to comply with the state's compulsory hijab law requires a firm
international response, including codifying gender apartheid into international
law as a crime against humanity, said the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
<Amid increasing dissent at home and international attention focused on regional
tensions, the Islamic Republic is grabbing the opportunity to intensify its
campaign of repression against dissent,> said CHRI Executive Director Hadi
Ghaemi. <Women and girls in Iran are already subjected to severe discrimination
in Iran, yet these actions significantly increase the threat of unchecked state
violence against them,> he added. <Public statements of condemnation by UN and
government leaders are urgently needed, before more atrocities are committed
against women and girls in Iran, and concrete steps should be taken to codify
gender apartheid into international law as a crime against humanity,> said
Ghaemi. Disturbing recent video footage from Iran shows women and girls being
violently pushed into vans (clip from Tehran, on April 16, 2024) in cities that
include Tehran and Bushehr, after being detained by police for not covering
their hair in public. Another video shared online shows a young woman, her hair
uncovered, having a seizure on the ground outside the metro in the Tajrish
neighborhood of Tehran, after telling onlookers that the police confiscated her
phone. The clip also shows several police forces taking no action to help her as
she convulses on the ground. Some onlookers were reportedly arrested for filming
the scene. Since Iran's 1979 revolution, all women and girls have been forced to
cover their hair and bodies, or face punishments that include detention or
imprisonment.
Challenging the Hijab Has Become Akin to Challenging the Government
Jina Amini
The state's compulsory hijab law has been widely challenged across the nation
since September 2022, when the killing in state custody of Mahsa Jina Amini,
22-just three days after she was arrested by the so-called <morality police> for
alleged hijab violations-sparked months of anti-state protests that came to be
known as the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement. Since then, women and girls in
cities and towns across the nation have been appearing in public with their hair
uncovered, with some publicizing their acts of civil disobedience by posting
photos and videos of themselves online. Although the government was able, after
months of lethal force that left over 500 protesters dead, to repress the 'Woman,
Life, Freedom' street protests that carried on throughout the country in 2022
and 2023, they have not been able to stop all the women and girls who have been
continuing to carry the torch of the movement by refusing to wear hijabs in
public in cities across the nation. In response, one year after the killing of
Amini, the Iranian government proposed the <Chastity and Hijab Law> in September
2023, which intensifies punishments against Iranian women and girls accused of
wearing inappropriate hijabs. Although the Guardian Council has yet to approve
the law, state security forces have intensified their harassment of women who
appear in public uncovered in line with the pending legislation, including
through violently accosting and detaining them, fining them, impounding their
cars, and blocking their access to essential public and private services, such
as banks and grocery stores. Businesses and organizations that have allowed
women to be in the premise with their hair showing have meanwhile been fined or
shuttered.
Islamic Republic Leaders Double-Down on Violent Enforcement of Forced Hijab
On April 3, 2024, the country's unelected <supreme leader> Ali Khamenei, in
statements made to government officials, noticeably increased his demonizing of
hijab-less women and advocated for stricter compulsory-hijab enforcement. Then
Tehran Police Chief Abbasali Mohammadian announced a new phase of tightened
compulsory-hijab enforcement, followed by a similar declaration made by the
police chief of the southern city of Bushehr. Both said a more <vigorous
enforcement> of the law would begin in all public spaces starting April 13. The
result has been increased reports and footage of women and girls being violently
detained by police forces.
Journalists are also facing increased pressure to not report the increased
repression.
Woman journalist Dina Ghalibaf was detained in Tehran on April 16 after tweeting
about being tasered and sexually harassed at the Sadeghiyeh metro station for
being in public with her hair uncovered.
Growing Movement to Recognise Gender Apartheid in Iran
UN human rights experts have strongly denounced the Islamic Republic's practice
of <criminalizing the act of refusing to wear a hijab> through the <Chastity and
Hijab> bill, asserting that it constitutes a clear violation of women and girls'
freedom of expression and is tantamount to gender apartheid. International
women's rights activists, including from Iran and Afghanistan, launched a
campaign in March 2023 aimed at securing formal recognition of gender apartheid
as a crime under international law. The campaign’s ultimate objective is to
dismantle the structures perpetuating gender-based discrimination and inequality
in the Islamic Republic of Iran and under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
Narges Mohammadi
<We urgently call upon the international community... to address this urgent
matter and take decisive action to end gender apartheid in Iran and
Afghanistan,> wrote Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi, who is currently
imprisoned in Iran on sham charges aimed at stifling her peaceful human rights
activism. <Women and girls in Iran have been treated as second-class citizens in
law and practice since the inception of the Islamic Republic, yet they haven't
backed down,> said Ghaemi. <In response the state is legalizing increased
violence against women, leaving millions at risk of a myriad of rights
violations or death.> <Without a firm international response, the Islamic
Republic will be emboldened to intensify its violence against women and its
egregious violations of human rights,> said Ghaemi.>>
