Current events

Iranian authorities are installing cameras in public places and thoroughfares to identify and penalise unveiled women, the police has announced in a new attempt to rein in increasing numbers of women defying the compulsory dress code.

I do not think it is fair that women are forced and punished to wear head coverings. Everyone should have the choice weather they want to wear or not.
