On the government-decreed headscarf day, many young women in Iran showed themselves without a head covering, although they risk imprisonment. They are part of the women’s movement “No2Hijab” and want to show that they are brave enough to say “no” to the headscarf, according to the founder of the movement.
In Iran, Headscarf Day is celebrated on July 12 to honor and promote the compulsory headscarf that women are required to wear by law. But many young women no longer stick to it and demonstratively pull off their veils on this day. That’s a prison sentence in Iran.
Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad organized the No2Hijab campaign from exile. She shared the women’s protest on her Twitter account.
“This woman risks imprisonment, she shows the regime and the world that women in Iran are brave enough to say ‘no’ to the headscarf,” writes the activist about a video clip showing a woman without a headscarf on the street She: “In Iran it is a crime to be unveiled, but many young women took up the challenge today.”
A dangerous challenge: Many women are said to have received threats from the security forces and have been asked not to take part in the anti-headscarf campaign, Alinejad told the “Bild” newspaper.
An incident occurred in the Iranian city of Sashavar, as one Twitter user describes: “A courageous woman publicly took off her scarf to protest against the compulsory hijab. Security forces tried to arrest them but met with resistance from the townspeople.”
Alinejad describes the action as a peaceful women’s revolution against the headscarf requirement. “Our goal is to show solidarity against the fundamental concept of compulsory hijab as one of the pillars of a religious dictatorship.”
Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi, a cleric supported by the country’s very conservative religious elite, described the backlash to the “anti-hijab” law as “organized promotion of moral corruption,” according to news portal Vice.com in Islamic society.”

The Federal Association for Road Haulage is certain that the shortage of truck drivers will continue to worsen in the coming years. The reasons for this are said to be the unattractiveness of the profession and the driving license law. Above all, however, the aging of active truck drivers is becoming increasingly problematic.
