Since the enactment of the "Hijab and Chastity Law" in Iran, the new old debate about the hijab has returned to the fore. A segment of Iranians sees it as their religious duty to "fight the manifestations of removing the hijab and nudity" Another segment believes that the law should be abolished based on the principle of individual rights.
The law was enacted after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested on the pretext of not wearing modest clothing.
