Revolutionary Guards Deployed
The police have failed to suppress anti-hijab demonstrations in Iran.

On September 16, when the movement in Iran intensified, the police had the responsibility to deal with the situation, but after this, the police were removed and Khamenei's trusted Revolutionary Guards were put in. The government wants to suppress the movement from them.

fine for not wearing a hijab
Although the hijab was mandated in Iran in 1979, on August 15, President Ibrahim Raisi signed order and was asked to strictly enforce it as a dress code. Also fine was imposed.
The compulsory wearing of the hijab came into force after the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
Before 1979, under the rule of Shah Pahlavi, Iran was quite independent in the matter of women's clothing.
On 8 January 1936, Raza Shah implemented Kashf-e-Hijab. That is, if a woman wears a hijab, the police will take her off.
In 1941, Shah Raza's son Mohammad Reza took over the rule and banned the Kashf-e-Hijab. He allowed women to wear the dress of their choice.
In 1963, Mohammad Reza Shah gave women the right to vote, and women were also elected to the Parliament.
In 1967, Iran's law was also reformed in women got equal rights.
The age of marriage for girls was raised from 13 to 18 years. Also, abortion was made a legal right.
Emphasis was laid on increasing the participation of girls in studies. By the 1970s, the share of girls in Iran's universities was 30%.
In 1979, Shah Reza Pahlavi had to leave the country and Iran became the Islamic Republic. Ayotollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a Shia religious leader, was made the Supreme Leader of Iran. From here Iran became a stronghold of Shia Islam in the world. Khomeini significantly curtailed women's rights.
