Draft:Hijab, no hijab

Hijab, No Hijab is a campaign that was implemented on 21 July 1401 to oppose the mandatory hijab in Iran. This campaign was held at the same time as Hijab and Chastity Day in Iran's official calendar, during which the hashtag "Hijab, Bi-Hijab" became widespread in Persian language social networks.

The "Hijab, No Hijab" campaign was launched after Ali Khamenei said on the 7th of July: "The Lord of 1401 is the same as the Lord of 1360, and we must try to set ourselves as examples of divine traditions so that the result is progress and victory." Khamenei's statements were accompanied by various speculations, one of which was the government's decision to increase the pressure on citizens, especially women, in the manner of the 60s, to deal violently with a cover different from that of the Islamic Republic.

In the weeks leading up to this campaign, police forces closed some cafes and restaurants and arrested the female customers of those shops for "bad hijab". Also, some officials asked the employees of the public transport fleet, government offices and banks not to provide services to women without veils. In this regard, a camp named "Tir 21" was formed, which was supposed to follow up on the improvement of the hijab situation by communicating the indicators of chastity and hijab to the institutions and monitoring their implementation until the 21st of July. The government's treatment of Iranian citizens intensified due to the type of cover, while in the 2017 report of the Iranian Parliament Research Center, the guidance patrol was mentioned as "unsuccessful experience" and "low impact".

On July 20, a group of women's rights activists published a statement entitled "No means no, this time not to the mandatory hijab" and announced that the naming of July 21 as "Chastity and Hijab" day is only an excuse to mark the new oppression of more people and especially Iranian women. they did Critics and activists against the mandatory hijab see the government's increasing efforts to enforce the hijab as part of a broader crackdown on the opposition amid intensifying domestic discontent over economic problems and increasing Western pressure on Iran over its disputed nuclear program.
