A recent survey conducted by Emrooz Research Group reveals that 95.5% of women in Tehran oppose the mandatory hijab, with approximately 57% of girls no longer complying with the Islamic Republic's hijab regulations. Amidst this backdrop, Iran has intensified its enforcement of compulsory veiling laws, subjecting women to draconian surveillance measures. Amnesty International reports that the Iranian authorities are waging a large-scale campaign involving widespread surveillance of women and girls in public spaces, mass police checks targeting women drivers, and the confiscation of cars from tens of thousands of women for removing their headscarves. Additionally, punitive measures such as floggings, fines, and car impoundments have been reported, affecting hundreds of thousands of women. This crackdown comes ahead of International Women's Day, drawing condemnation from Amnesty International.
