Girls of Enghelab Street (Persian: دختران خیابان انقلاب) is a series of protests against compulsory hijab in Iran. The protests were inspired by Vida Movahed (Persian: ویدا موحد‎), an Iranian woman known as the Girl of Enghelab Street (Persian: دختر خیابان انقلاب‎), who stood in the crowd on a utility box in the Enghelab Street (Revolution Street) of Tehran on 28 December 2017, tied her hijab, a white headscarf, to a stick, and waved it to the crowd as a flag.[6][7][1][8] She was arrested on that day[1][8] and was released temporary on bail[9][10] a month later, on 28 January 2018.[11][12] Some people believe that Movahed's action was based on Masih Alinejad's call for White Wednesdays, a protest movement that the presenter at VOA Persian Television started in early 2017.[13][14][15] Other women later re-enacted her protest and posted photos of their actions on social media. These women are described as the "Girls of Enghelab Street".[14] Some of the protesters claim that they didn't follow Masih Alinejad's call.[3][16][16][17][18]

Islamic Republic's Penal Code

Further information: Theocracy § Iran

In the Islamic law of Iran imposed shortly after the 1979 Islamic revolution, article 638 of 5th book of Islamic Penal Code (called Sanctions and deterrent penalties) women who do not wear a hijab may be imprisoned from ten days to two months, and/or required to pay fines from 50,000 up to 500,000 rials.[19][20] Fines are recalculated in the courts as the value of Iranian rials drops every year since 1979.

Article 639 of the same book says, two type of people shall be sentenced to one year to 10 years imprisonment, first a person who establishes or directs a place of immorality or prostitution, second a person who facilitates or encourages people to commit immorality or prostitution.[21][22]

These are some of the laws under which some protesters were charged.[21][23]

Background

Before the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979 (during the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran) the hijab was not compulsory,[24] though some Iranian women during this period wore headscarfs or chador.[25]

After the 1979 Islamic revolution, the hijab gradually became compulsory.[26] In 1979, Ruhollah Khomeini announced that women should observe Islamic dress code;[26][27] His statement sparked demonstrations, which were met by government assurances that the statement was only a recommendation.[26][27] Hijab was subsequently made mandatory in government and public offices in 1980, and in 1983 it became mandatory for all women.[26]

In 2018, a government run survey dating back to 2014, was released by President Hassan Rouhani, showing that 49.8% of Iranians were against compulsory or mandatory hijab.[28][29] The report was released by the Center for Strategic Studies, the research arm of the Iranian President's office, and was titled "Report of the first hijab special meeting" on July 2014 in a PDF format.[30]

On 2 February 2018 a poll conducted by the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM) showed that a few Iranians agreed with "changing Iran's political system or relaxing strict Islamic law".[31]

Iran is the only country in the world that requires non-Muslim women to wear a headscarf.[32] For example, in January 2018, a Chinese female musician was forcibly veiled in the middle of her concert performance.[33]
