Analyze : Veiling was a general event, which women were seen as someone, who take care the households, and provide reproduction, at same time women were secluded. They have a private life, not knowing what is going outside, and in the countries as a whole as news, events, and political information as well. In the unveiling event, women status shifted upward, they gain more freedom and liberation as someone, who will have the chance enjoying their lives, and being able to go outside, and talking to men on the streets, which was impossible in the veiling event. In consequence, women’s status gets much better. During the reign of Reza Shah, he issued new policies that would give women a better status and well deserved. He banned veiling, and he commanded the police officers to guard and escorted unveiled women when going to theatre, restaurants, and others public places after his visits in Turkey in 1934. Women in Iran gain a much better status compared to the veiling event. Now, with new policies they are free to socialize, and participate in the public events and activities, which is much better to stay home, and taking care of households all day. Here, women in Iran can contribute in the development of countries, education, and get involved in the politics, where gender role is very critical. Since women are able to go outside, and socialize without being asked or hurt, then they are free to learn more about their countries, in many domains, most importantly in politics. The 1930 event, gave women in Iran another status and vision in the real world. Women’s emancipation in Iran was very needed, it set another standard for the status of women, and the country as a whole. It provided another vision in politics as women can contribute and participate in politics, and others events that would promote the liberation of women and the country of Iran. In addition, the general idea about the new vision of women participating in many roles and activities, came from Reza shah, who put the system of westernism that differentiate between religion and political views, at the same time enforce the system of secularism, rather than religious views on politics or policies.
