The campaign, which denounces the compulsory #headscarf law in effect since 1983, coincided with the “National Day of Hijab and Chastity” set by the #IranianRegime on July 12, and whose activities last for more than a week.

Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi said the campaign "polluted society," while the representative of the Supreme Leader in Qom, Mohammad Saeedi, stressed that the campaign’s motive was "systematic hostility." Other officials described it as "the enemy’s soft war."

The No2Hijab campaign follows a series of protests against the compulsory headscarf, notably in 2017 and 2018, which led to the arrest of dozens of Iranian activists, stricter #headscarf rules and new surveillance agencies.
