A recent UN report highlights Iran's intensified repression of women’s rights in relation to mandatory hijab laws, revealing increasing surveillance tactics and community complicity. The Iranian government now employs electronic monitoring, including drones and facial recognition software, to enforce hijab compliance, viewing it as a civic duty. This systematized discrimination continues against a backdrop of protests that began after Mahsa Amini's death in 2022, reflecting deep-seated issues of gender inequality that permeate Iranian society.
Iran’s current reliance on electronic surveillance and public informants against women refusing to wear mandatory hijabs showcases a disturbing trend, revealing state-sponsored vigilantism.
Despite ongoing protests and public disobedience against hijab laws, the Iranian state intensifies efforts to enforce compliance through high-tech surveillance and societal involvement.
