One of the main characteristics of Iran’s nationwide uprising is the presence of women and girls on the front line of the battle against the misogynistic rule of the Islamic Republic. ‘Misogynism’, in the essence of Mullah’s system, has overshadowed the regime’s ideological and political structure entirely.
Therefore, the freedom and liberation of Iranian women from the constraints imposed by the mullahs equal the destruction of the Islamic Republic.
Iranian women and girls have turned the mandatory hijab into one of the biggest challenges of the Mullahs during the current uprising.
The women succeeded in forcing the regime to dismantle or at least stop the criminal morality police and its patrolling thugs.
A patrol that killed Mehsa Amini provoked the biggest national and nationwide anger. A murder that has led to a long-lasting uprising to overthrow the rule of the Velayat al-Faqih.
One of the signs of this critical challenge for the regime is its impasse in dealing with women. This challenge has even created a huge dispute within the ruling body.
And as the uprising has deepened and become irreversible, resorting to the unbridled repressions of the past against women, will intensify the crisis against the regime even more than in the past.
In a desperate reaction, Mohammad Jaafar Montazeri, Prosecutor-General of the regime warned the women: “According to the law, it is mandatory for women to wear hijab in the streets and public view, and this law must be followed. If it reaches the stage of obvious crime, the relevant agencies will fulfill their duties.”
But the regime’s state-run media showed the contraction within. Salameno website wrote: “The past methods, such as morality patrols, do not work, and necessary investigations must be carried out.” And Khabar Online website added: “It should be clear whether people favor the hijab or not.”
It has become clear that the issue of the ‘mandatory hijab’ is destabilizing the regime. From now on, any action against the women and girls in the streets will hit the regime much harsher than the killing of Mahsa Amini.
December 29 marked the 105th day of anti-regime protests in Iran. The demonstrations began following the heinous murder of Mahsa Amini, 22, in police custody. However, it immediately turned into a revolution against the entire theocratic regime.
According to the Iranian opposition Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI), the protests have extended to 280 cities. The regime has killed over 750 citizens, injured tens of thousands, and detained more than 30,000. The MEK has published the names of 601 killed protesters.
