If experiences such as the Ershad Patrol’s confrontation with people on the streets and the collection of satellite reception equipment were successful, this one will be successful too. This is a summary of a relatively detailed report that the Parliament Research Center published on the so-called Protection of Chastity and Hijab plan, and has called for it to remain silent in the Parliament. The report warns that turning this plan into law will widen the gap between the government and the people and may even lead to popular disobedience and resistance. The so-called Protection of Chastity and Hijab plan, the general outline of which was approved by the Parliament last year, foresees a fine of 100,000 Tomans for revealing the hijab in a private car. Also, according to this plan, employees who do not observe the Islamic hijab required by the government will be punished with a reprimand and a reduction in their salaries. If this plan is approved, women’s working hours will also be limited and mixing of men and women in the workplace will be prevented.
